Brody King Clarifies His AEW Status as Buddy Matthews Declares Hiatus From Wrestling

The House of Black, which consisted of Brody King, Malakai Black, Buddy Matthews, and Julia Hart, has fallen apart during the past few weeks.

Matthews delivered an in-ring promo at the end of his match on Saturday’s Fight Life Pro Wrestling. During the promo, he mentioned that he will be gone for some time. According to Fightful, Matthews may be finished with AEW, even though he has not yet received his release from the company.

As PWMania.com previously reported, Malakai Black gave a similar statement at last week’s Prestige Wrestling. Later on, he elaborated on his statements and verified the rumors that he had approached AEW about being let go.

Both Black and Matthews’ names have been mentioned in connection with a possible comeback to WWE. King clarified his status with AEW by taking to Twitter and tweeting a clip of Leonardo DiCaprio from the movie The Wolf of Wall Street exclaiming, “I’M NOT F****** LEAVING.”

Now that the stable is down two members, it will be interesting to watch what AEW decides to do with King and Hart after those losses.

King joined AEW in January 2022 as the first member of Malakai Black’s House of Black.
