Former WWE Superstar and new AEW signee Malakai Black recently appeared on Talk is Jericho. The former NXT Champion discussed several topics during his time on the show, including his standing with former Executive Director of WWE RAW, Paul Heyman.
“Since day one, me and Paul Heyman meshed”, Malakai Black revealed on the podcast. “I love that man. He’s always been really good to me. He’s been blunt with me and I appreciate people being blunt with me, don’t dance around the subject, just tell me how it is, especially in this business.”
“Paul had big ideas, not just with me, but with a lot of younger people like Buddy Murphy”, Black continued. “He once told me that he had one night of control, that was the first night. After that, everything became a fight.”
“Maybe ‘fight’ is not the right word, but a debate”, Black noted, discussing what Paul Heyman had to go through as Executive Director of RAW. “I can understand, but it makes you wonder. I let it go because we were fighting tooth and nail to get me out of the room and to progress.”
