WWE: Triple H wanted AEW star to return to form partnership with Bray Wyatt

WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H wanted Malakai Black to quit AEW to form a new faction with Bray Wyatt.

Should he have returned to WWE, there's no doubt that Triple H would have booked Malakai Black, who he made NXT Champion in 2018, as one of the company's top stars.
