Top AEW star to officially return to WWE as Wyatt Sicks' sixth member on RAW? Analyzing the chances

The Wyatt Sicks debuted in WWE last year, and fans welcomed the group with positive reactions. Many wonder who can join the group in the future as its sixth member. With the rumors of AEW star Malakai Black potentially leaving Tony Khan's promotion, he could be a perfect addition to Uncle Howdy's stable.

Malakai Black was signed to WWE before he moved to AEW. He debuted for the Stamford-based promotion in 2017 on the NXT brand and had a successful run. The former NXT Champion was later moved to the main roster. However, he was never booked to his full potential by former head of creative Vince McMahon and was eventually released by WWE in 2021.

After signing with All Elite Wrestling, Malakai Black formed the House of Black with Buddy Matthews, Brody King, and Julia Hart. There have been rumblings about The Antihero potentially leaving AEW, but the star has denied it multiple times. However, new reports have revealed that Malakai Black is allegedly "wrapping up things" in the Jacksonville-based promotion. He last appeared at Full Gear 2024. During last night's episode of Dynamite, Will Ospreay defeated Buddy Matthews. After the match, Ospreay told Matthews to step out of Black's shadow. This might be a potential confirmation of Malakai's departure.

During his time in WWE NXT, Triple H booked the erstwhile Aleister Black as a credible threat. If Black were to return to the promotion this year, The Game could introduce him as the sixth member of the Wyatt Sicks. The 39-year-old's dark persona would fit well with Joe Gacy, Erick Rowan, Dexter Lumis, Nikki Cross, and Uncle Howdy.

That said, this is speculative at this point.

Former WWE star Malakai Black commented on rumors of leaving AEW last year

After losing a match to Adam Cole on AEW Dynamite in November 2024, The Panama City Playboy hugged Malakai Black in a wholesome moment. However, the segment came off as a potential send-off from All Elite Wrestling for the House of Black leader.

However, in an Instagram story after the show, the former WWE Superstar addressed the rumors and clarified that he's not planning on retiring or leaving the Jacksonville-based promotion.

"I'm not injured, nor am I retiring nor am I leaving. I feel this happens every match I have, and I don't understand how many times are you gonna say these things, and then happening [sic], and people are still going to fall for that!" he said.

It will be interesting to see if the reports of Malakai Black's All Elite Wrestling departure turn out to be true.
