Malakai Black has now officially departed AEW, and a return to WWE is on the cards with him now being a free agent following the expiration of his contract.
Due to his previous run with WWE and his wife Zelina Vega working in the promotion, most fans and critics expect Black to make a return sooner rather than later.
The former AEW World Trios Champion should be in line for a major push upon a potential signing, but there is some intrigue into what Black can possibly do when he is back.
Here are six potential WWE return plans for Malakai Black.
6. WrestleMania 41 Or Raw After Mania Return

This is probably the most obvious way to bring back the former Aleister Black, right?
WrestleMania 41 is WWE’s biggest show of the year and occasionally has featured sensational returns like Cody Rhodes in 2022.
However, a setting that is more known for memorable returns is the Monday Night Raw following WrestleMania.
Black making a dramatic comeback after four years away from the company could be a defining moment from this year’s Mania 41 weekend.
