Aleister Black Posts New Vignette, Is Now Bald
Aleister Black has changed things up as a free agent.
On Thursday, Aleister Black (Malakai Black in AEW) posted a new vignette on Instagram with the caption “I am the death of me.”
In the vignette, Black goes about his daily life, which includes model painting, shooting guns, speaking, training and more. He then awakens from his day-to-day routine with a fresh shave, showing off his new bald look as he is locked into his training, largely doing Muy-Thai practice.

Black was released by WWE in April. His 90-day non-compete clause it up, making him a free agent.
Black last wrestled on the April 17 episode of WWE SmackDown, competing in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal. He has been regularly featured on television throughout 2026, feuding with Damian Priest to start the year and Randy Orton during the early months. He was most recently in segments and matches with Sami Zayn and Matt Cardona.
