The House of Black is still out to prove that the house always wins. As Malakai Black delivered a message to Miro during the latest episode of All Elite Wrestling's Dynamite, Brody King entered the frame to deliver a warning of his own to a longtime rival. King has taken his warning for Darby Allin to new heights, commemorating the longstanding feud with a new tattoo.
King joined AEW's roster on January 12, 2022, after several on-screen teases from Black. King aligned himself with Black during his debut, attacking Griff Garrison and Brian Pillman Jr. of the Varsity Blondes, as well as Penta Oscuro. Black and King later added Buddy Matthews to the House of Black's roster and embarked on a feud with the Death Triangle.
During the House of Black's most recent promo, both Black and King reaffirmed where their current priorities lie. While Black shifted his focus to Miro, King made it clear that despite having a number of victories over Allin, he's not done with him yet. King called attention to Allin's tattoo that reads "Nothing's over til you're underground," before vowing that the feud between them wouldn't be over until King does just that. He went on to issue a challenge to Allin for a coffin match, telling Allin to let him know what kind of flowers he wanted on his headstone. King has now gotten a tombstone tattoo with Allin's name on it to prove just how serious his intentions are.
For the past several weeks, King and Allin have rekindled their longtime feud. On July 1, King and Allin were two competitors in AEW's first Royal Rampage to determine a new challenger for the interim AEW World Championship currently held by Jon Moxley. The match came to a violent end as King eliminated Allin from the match with a vicious sleeper hold. King went on to be defeated by Moxley in their championship match and afterward and King refused to acknowledge Allin's sign of respect for the battle King had given both Allin and Moxley. The two went on to have a singles match that King came out on top of once again.
The issues between King and Allin have also transpired outside the ring. King has created a habit of attacking Allin in public places. In early July, King snuck up on Allin at an autograph signing and put him through a table. Most recently, King and Black attacked Allin at San Diego Comic-Con. Their rivalry dates back several years and even involves Allin's father. Despite King's intent to bury Allin, coffin matches are Allin's expertise. Allin is currently undefeated in AEW's coffin matches with previous wins over Ethan Page and Andrade El Idolo.
The coffin match between King and Allin may be exactly what they need to end the feud between them and allow both men to focus their attention elsewhere. Dynamite provided the first look at the trio's titles, announcing that a tournament will take place to crown the inaugural champions at All Out this September. While the House of Black has not made a habit of chasing championship gold, Black, King, and Matthews have proven they are a dominant force that will pose a threat to those in the tournament once Matthews is cleared to compete.
