Is this AEW roster member ready to get spooky with Malakai Black and his merry band of monsters?

Malakai Black's Instagram story recently featured what appeared to be a tease for a new member of his House of Black stable in All Elite Wrestling.

As pointed out by Reddit user u/Teahh, Malakai uploaded an image of him holding an eyepatch to his story, though this has since vanished from the Dutchman's Instagram - seemingly as a result of the feature's 24-hour time limit.

This looks like a nod to Julia Hart, who has been linked with joining Malakai in the House of Black since last summer, when the Varsity Blonds tag team she is affiliated with was feuding with the former Tommy End. Hart has taken to wearing an eyepatch on AEW television since Black spat mist in her face last December, though she has scarcely appeared on TNT or TBS in recent months, operating primarily on Dark and Dark: Elevation.

Nonetheless, this might be a suggestion that AEW is on the verge of reviving the story.

Or it might come to nothing. We'll find out in time.

The House of Black's ranks have grown since Malakai first clashed with Hart and the Blonds, with AEW newcomers Brody King and Buddy Matthews joining the ranks. Revolution 2022 saw them contest their first ever trios match - a win over PAC, Penta Oscuro, and Erick Redbeard.
