AEW's Dark Master - Malaque Blake today opened up about his relationship with WWE veteran Paul Heyman, revealing their tacit understanding of the main line-up. Appearing on the Jericho podcast hosted by former AEW world champion Chris Jericho, Blake shared a lot of lace news about him with WWE. Blake has publicly stated in the past that he and Vince McMan are not always creatively aligned. That said, he had a much better relationship with Heyman, and according to Black, his ideas were in line with that of this veteran WWE employee.
Malakai Black added that Hayman, RAW's executive director at the time, opened up to him and that Heyman clearly had a long-term view of Black's role and other young players like Murphy. The former NXT champion also recalled the day Heyman took full control of RAW, but Blake further revealed that his role collapsed once Heyman was no longer in charge of the brand. "Paul and I started dating from day one and I loved that person! Paul has great ideas not only with me, but also with many young people like Buddy Murphy. He once told me that he had control of RAW, that it was his first night on the pitch, and since then, everything has turned into a fight. ”
Maraque Blake's AEW start was a blast! Last week on the AEW show, Malaque Blake played against the company's vice president, Cordy Rhodes, on his AEW debut. While no wrestling fans doubted the outcome of the match, the way Black overwhelmed Cody Rhodes was a surprise. Blake also destroyed Cordy Rhodes' post-match speech, in which the former TNT champion hinted at his retirement, so it doesn't look like the fight will end so soon.
Malakai Black also believes that WWE made the decision to let him go to AEW because he was always denied on the main list. Blake made his unexpected debut at the AEW in early July due to the absence of the usual 90-day non-competitive clause in his contract, which was not only a serious mistake on WWE, but also made Black an instant free agent! In the interview, Blake talked about his last day at WWE. According to him, WWE actually made a choice for him, he was buried deep and he felt "hit the wall".
"In the final phase of WWE, I felt it was time to leave. I felt like they had made the decision for me, and I told my wife months in advance that things weren't going as well as they had promised me and that I was going to do something else. I felt like I was hitting a wall and they didn't want to get me out and I didn't want to bang my head against the wall all the time because, ultimately, I felt like I owed myself more of a life. I want to be a better athlete! Malakai Black said. Why WWE didn't see the greatness of Maraque Blake will always be a mystery, but their loss is the gain of AEW as we will see Blake show his potential in Tony Khan's company.
