The House Of Black certainly believe in themselves.
The most recent addition to The House Of Black, Buddy Matthews, has led to more and more interesting storylines for the faction. The faction is currently in a program with both Death Triangle and The Varsity Blondes. When Matthew’s debuted, it was teased briefly that Matthews was there to attack Malakai Black but ended up siding with the stable instead.
Speaking on Wrestle Radio Australia, Matthews discussed joining AEW and the House of Black.
“It was just a story that came full circle, Not necessarily talked about, we both felt it was the next chapter of our saga. We talked about it briefly and when the opportunity arise, we took it and we’re enjoying what we’re doing now. On a personal level, me and him are very similar. That shows on the television product, that shows in our chemistry, just standing next to each other, and in our ring work too. You can tell we’re very much on the same page. It’s a match made in heaven, in a way. It’s cool, the fairytale, the whole saga, the whole rivalry going full circle.”
“[AEW] wasn’t on the radar at the time. I’ma big fan of Marvel movies and the hidden easter eggs. So is Malakai. It was entertainment. It was content of entertainment, not necessarily ‘this is going to happen in the future.’ If you paid really close attention to the way the vignettes were shot, his were all indoors, mine were all outdoors. We make reference to each other, but not make reference to each other. it was like a different universe, but in the same [like Marvel shorts]. Iron Man has his franchise, Thor has his franchise. That’s the way we looked at it. It was just putting entertainment for fans and enjoying the creative process that we didn’t really have. Being in the wrestling business, we’re creative people and it’s just having that outlet to do it. he found his outlet with his version, I did my creative outlet in my version. They intertwine, but they weren’t necessarily out there to do what we ended up doing. It was just entertainment and entertaining ourselves.”
