Malakai Black vs Cody Rhodes headlined the Homecoming edition of AEW Dynamite a couple of weeks ago. Black explained in an interview that the match and the build-up to it went exactly how he thought it would.
The man formerly known as Aleister Black gave his thoughts on the match to Bleacher Report. He praised Cody Rhodes but said that the send-off Cody received will stay on his mind for some time:
"It went exactly the way I thought it was going to do," Malakai Black said. "Cody is a very talented individual with a similar mindset. He has accomplished many great things in this business. I don't know if this is the end of our dance or what will happen, but I gave him a send-off that is probably still deeply rooted in his head. It's one of the most memorable things I have done. I made a statement with that match and in the segments leading up to it. I did everything I said I was going to do," Malakai Black concluded.
Much to everyone's disbelief, the match between Malakai Black and Cody Rhodes was over inside five minutes as Cody was completely outclassed. Black delivered the Black Mass and put his foot on Cody's chest to earn a pinfall win on his AEW debut.
Malakai Black will face Brock Anderson on AEW Dynamite
Malakai Black's first showing at AEW saw him knock the stars out of Arn Anderson and Cody Rhodes at AEW Road Rager. In the weeks that followed, Black tormented Cody in every way he could, even taking out Fuego del Sol with a Black Mass.
The aftermath of the one-sided beatdown at AEW Homecoming saw Cody Rhodes take some time off and Arn's son, Brock Anderson, book himself in a match against Malakai Black on AEW Dynamite in an attempt to avenge his father.
Considering what happened to Cody Rhodes, Brock Anderson might be in for an unpleasant experience.
