New Name For House Of Black Faction Following Malakai Black’s AEW Departure

AEW

On tonight’s episode of AEW Collision, the official debut for the newest iteration of the House of Black faction following Malakai Black’s departure.

While Malakai Black remains on the AEW roster page, he has seemingly been written off of AEW television as his absence was explained this week.

On AEW Dynamite earlier this week, Brody King, Buddy Matthews and Julia Hart – the other members of Black’s House of Black faction – appeared in a video without Black, alluding to the fact the “voices that guided them” had gone silent.

Julia Hart’s entrance music was adjusted with a line saying “the Hart always wins” instead of “the House always wins”, and King & Matthews filed to trademark ‘Hounds of Hell’ and ‘Hell Hounds’ as potential new team names.

Tonight on AEW Collision, Brody King and Buddy Matthews were still accompanied by Julia Hart however were officially referred to as the ‘Hounds of Hell’.

With slightly varied styling, more notably for King, there were also new on-screen graphics marking their arrival, along with a new entrance theme.

You can see a clip of tonight’s entrance below.
