Malakai Black, the leader of The House of Black, unexpectedly lost to Adam Cole on the latest episode of AEW Dynamite. Cole, who made his long-awaited return at AEW WrestleDream 2024, immediately set his sights on MJF.
However, MJF had set a condition for Adam Cole if he wanted a match against “The Salt of the Earth.” Cole had to win three singles matches to earn a shot to face MJF at AEW Full Gear. Cole returned to the ring last week at AEW Dynamite after more than a year away and defeated Buddy Matthews. Following the match, Malakai Black confronted Cole, hinting at another match between the two.
In their second match on AEW Dynamite, Cole defeated Malakai Black in a hard-hitting contest. While Cole gets closer to facing MJF, another interesting development emerged regarding Malakai Black following his match against Cole.
