Malakai Black Says A Lot Of People In WWE NXT Didn’t Like Him

Malakai Black won the NXT Championship in April 2017 at WWE NXT TakeOver: New Orleans before working on the main roster from 2017 through 2019. He joined AEW in July 2021. 

While speaking on the Undisputed podcast with Bobby Fish, Black noted he wasn’t liked by many while in WWE NXT. 

“I remember when I was the quote-unquote, like, chosen one in NXT and I did not have a lot of friends because everybody wanted to be the chosen one, you know what I mean? I had a lot of people that did not like me because of that and I was just going like, ‘I’m sorry guys. I didn’t do anything on purpose’. But it was just the way that the industry was at the time and what the quote-unquote machine picked at that time.”
