"Another dope night at the Dark Arts Gym. As much as she’s one of my best friends, she will always be an inspiration to me. There would be no Zelina as you know her without Melina. Honor to learn from one of the absolute bests. Love you @RealMelina," wrote Vega.

Malakai Black opened up after his match at Coastal Championship Wrestling

Malakai Black discussed his victory over Orion at Coastal Championship Wrestling. He competed at the promotion's Havoc & Haze 9 event.

Speaking with Alejandro Romero, Black sent a message to Orion and teased a future appearance in the promotion. He said:

"Orion did something that a lot of people have not been able to get done in a very long time, and that's almost get inside my head and slowly crawl in towards a place where perhaps I can accept defeat but it was not tonight. But perhaps in some part of the future unwritten just yet he might succeed but it's not tonight. But when he will, I'll make sure that it's here in Coastal Championship Wrestling. So Orion, I have a feeling we're not done in this place."

Black was released by WWE in 2021. He signed and debuted in AEW after he departed from the company. During his time in the promotion, he held the AEW World Trios Championship with Brody King and Buddy Matthews.
