Jim Ross Believes AEW Star Felt ‘A Little Disenchanted’ About Run A Few Months Ago

AEW

AEW announcer Jim Ross has addressed Malakai Black departure rumors, believing that Black felt ‘a little disenchanted’ a few months ago.

Following Malakai Black embracing Adam Cole following their match on Dynamite, there was a lot of speculation about Black potentially leaving AEW soon.

While Black has stated that he’s not finishing up with the company, Jim Ross has stated that he believes the House of Black member was ‘a little disenchanted’ when they spoke a few months ago.

Jim Ross noted that this was his own interpretation, and that Black didn’t tell him that he felt this way.

Believing that Black has the potential to succeed anywhere, Jim Ross noted on his Grillin’ JR podcast:

“He could have been more deeply woven into the story lines over time. He’s one of my favorite characters. He’s a smart guy. He’s a hell of a worker. He can be a babyface or a heel. Wherever he’s going to go, he’s going to make money and he’s going to be an asset to any company that he works for.

“I talked to him a couple of pay-per-views ago, and he didn’t tell me this, but you could tell he was a little disenchanted. I mean, God Almighty. Think about this. They work a day a week.

“They wrestle a day a week for AEW, maybe two if they get booked on both the Saturday show and the Wednesday show, but that didn’t happen that much. If it did, you’d be working two days a week. I think his future is always going to be bright. He’s a creative guy.”

Black most recently wrestled on AEW Collision, teaming with Buddy Matthews and Brody King to defeat the Iron Savages.
