There doesn’t seem to be anything confirmed, but the rumors from Fightful and Raj Giri seem to be that Malakai Black has asked for his release.

I can see Buddy Matthews wanting out too. He’s been suspended in AEW, is part of a terrible faction, Triple H has power and it looks like his girlfriend might be put into a love story with Dominik Mysterio (and we know how those go).

Rhodes backing out is pretty telling. They all kno theyve got a mark for a boss. No worker wants to answer to a mark. Its anathema

There’s nothing wrong with giving Punk more time. That doesn’t mean you go and bury your talent, lol.

I dunno, you said the AEW women's division is shit, and there's nothing wrong with giving Punk more time.
They did that, and then oof? |

The oof is at Tony Khan’s self-own and treatment of his talent. I’d prefer it if they didn’t have a shit division in the first place. He’s stepped in his own shit there.

So him agreeing with your idea that giving Punk more time is okay is... somehow different?

1. I didn’t book the division. 2. They’re not talent on my payroll. The issue isn’t Tony Khan giving CM Punk more time for a promo. It’s how he responded to the question of why. |

“They’re not good enough.” Yeah, that’s an oof. |

That's how it goes in the business.
It's no different than any other booker, historically speaking. |

Lol, are you still talking about the choice to give Punk a longer segment? I’m not arguing that. It’s not customary to be such a public dingbat about your talent at all.

Customary? Perhaps.
Any different historically? No. |

Basically a bunch of morons complained about something stupid, Tony was asked about it at a media call and stated the obvious explanation and now it’s “oof”.

Malakai Black’s desired departure from AEW is said to be for mental health issues. If true, that’s not good. I hope he gets everything he needs to sorted, shit wrestling presentation aside.

Just like he went out of his way to point out Punk is a super nice guy and had NOTHING to do with Colt Cabana not being allowed to come to AEW, just hours after Punk freaked out because a fan tried to chant Colt Cabana. Tony never spins anything

It could very well be spin/damage control. My point was more that Noid is stating it as fact. Tony is saying otherwise.

Do you disagree with this? And did Tony say that Malakai Black was happy or did he just say that he hasn’t requested a release? |

1. An injury announcement involving a champion shouldn't be a ratings consideration. 2. It didn't have to be a 8 minute bit. It just should have been longer than 30 seconds and in front of the live audience. 3. Speaking of said live audience, not long after the announcement, Britt comes out to the crowd and buries your Champion, again. 4. Also, if there is any veracity to the heat between Rosa and Baker (which I am sure there is, given the parties involved), it looks as though Khan is taking sides. And it is with the party he is seen with in public at various sporting events. The same party who gets more screen time than both women's champions. As much as Vince was derided for having a "type" let's say. He wasn't having his picture taken standing next to Sable and taking her to big events with him. 5. The AEW Women's Division is not a draw. No lie there. That is because in no small part because it isn't treated as a priority. WWE had the same problem until Triple H noticed that four of the girls in developmental were bigger stars than most of the guys, and not just with horny dudes. |

It is just saying "I am gonna be out of action. Thank you and I'll be back to reclaim what's mine." That doesn't require much. No one is expecting her to bust out "Austin 3:16".

Tony just stated he didn’t ask for a release, didn’t mention happiness/mental well-being. I’d suspect Black isn’t happy/mentally well but this isn’t referenced anywhere by Tony, or by me when I said Tony has come out and said he didn’t ask for a release, you’ve raised that. |
