Malakai Black has made his return to in-ring competition for the first time since his departure from WWE, stepping into the squared circle at his own Dark Arts gym.
Black faced J Villa, one of his trainees, in the match held at the training facility.
For the bout, Black revived his former ring name, Tommy End, while also unveiling a new look featuring a shaved head.
The contest went 17 minutes and 12 seconds before Black secured the victory. The full match was subsequently uploaded to the gym’s official YouTube channel.
The wrestler, formerly known in WWE as Aleister Black, was released from his contract during the company’s roster cuts following WrestleMania 42.
Since leaving WWE, he has alternated between his Malakai Black persona, which he previously used in PROGRESS Wrestling, and the Tommy End character.
He first revealed the new appearance in a vignette several weeks ago.
