In a highly anticipated matchup, former NXT Champion Malakai Black is gearing up to return to singles action against his long-standing rival, Kyle O’Reilly, on Dynamite next Wednesday. This exciting encounter marks a retracing of steps for the two wrestlers, who last clashed in the WWE nearly seven years ago.
The rivalry between Black and O’Reilly dates back to August 2, 2017, when they faced off on NXT. Despite both being signed with All Elite Wrestling (AEW), they have yet to engage in a singles match against each other – until now.
Recently, O’Reilly inserted himself into the ongoing feud between The House of Black and Adam Copeland, saving The Rated-R Superstar on multiple occasions. This intervention has ultimately led to the announcement of a highly anticipated match between O’Reilly and Malakai Black, set to take place on next week’s episode of Dynamite.
This showdown will mark Black’s first singles match in nearly two months, a significant milestone for the former NXT Champion. Meanwhile, Adam Copeland, also known as Edge, has thrown down the gauntlet, challenging the House of Black leader to a Barbed Wire Steel Cage match at Double or Nothing for the AEW TNT Championship.
As the wrestling world eagerly awaits the May 26 pay-per-view event, one question remains: who will emerge victorious? Will Malakai Black prove his mettle against O’Reilly, or will the latter’s meddling in The House of Black’s affairs ultimately backfire? The stage is set for a thrilling showdown, and fans are on the edge of their seats, anticipating the outcome.
Without a doubt, this confrontation promises to be an unforgettable spectacle, pitting two wrestling heavyweights against each other in a battle for supremacy. As the hours tick down to Dynamite next Wednesday, all eyes will be fixed on Black and O’Reilly, each determined to assert their dominance in the AEW arena.
