In a recent interview with Denise Salcedo, Julia Hart revealed that The House of Black will be fine as Brody and Buddy Matthews will focus on dominating the men's division while she focuses on the women's division.

''So it’s just, whatever happens, happens. And I’m happy for him no matter what happens, and I think House of Black will be okay. No matter what happens, I’ll keep destroying the women’s locker room.
