AEW star Malakai Black recently appeared on the AEW Unrestricted podcast. The former WWE Superstar discussed several topics during the interview, including what it was like working with Rosario Dawson on AEW programming.
‘She was ecstatic. She absolutely loved that, she had a great time backstage, had a great time on TV. Me and Cody really beat the sh*t out of each other.
“That definitely one of the hardest brawls I’ve ever had, as short as it was. Me and Cody, despite the interaction so far at this point being limited, every time we got physical, we got physical, and Rosario jumped right into that because I had to tuck my chin, but she came in and just cinched it in.

‘I was like, oh, okay, that’s what we’re doing today. But it’s the excitement of TV, and obviously, it’s new, but she did really well. And she was very thankful. She was very appreciative, and she had a great time.
“Her family had a great time. It’s always cool to be involved in wrestling. Especially in the United States, it’s so ingrained in the fabric of entertainment.
“It’s the reason I’m here from a whole different country, and so to be a part of someone that is high ranked as an actress, as Rosario Dawson, to have that interaction was an incredibly cool experience, absolutely.’
