Malakai Black played mind games with Adam Copeland in the latest episode on AEW Dynamite. The match between Adam and Buddy Matthews was a good one which ended with the former claiming a win. However, Copeland did not just stop there. He took a couple of steel chairs to smash his opponent. Things seemed to be looking bad for Buddy when his partner appeared.
As Adam got his chairs, he hit Matthews on the back with one of them. Adam placed the other steel chair on the ring and positioned Buddy's head on it. Just when the former WWE Superstar was about to hit him with the steel chair, lights went off. In came Malakai Black, the partner of Buddy. To Adam's surprise, Malakai asked him to hit Buddy.

After the match on Dynamite, the segment took place. Copeland was perplexed and rightfully so. No person would ask his own partner to be hit. He was in two minds whether to hit Buddy or not. Adam wondered if he should hit Buddy or Black. The TNT Champion went as if to hit Buddy and directed the attack on Black. That was when the lights went off again. As the lights came back, Black and Matthews had disappeared.
Is Adam Copeland turning heel?
After the latest segment on Dynamite, many are wondering if Copeland would turn heel. After a good match between him and Buddy, Adam decided to punish his opponent with steel chairs. These are signs of him showing his negative character. The fans were perplexed in the latest episode on AEW seeing their favorite punish Buddy after the match. To their delight, Malakai saved Buddy.
However, things might not be the same in the days to come. Malakai's mind games might just be the beginning. In the next few weeks, Black might get into the head of Copeland which could break into his head. This could lead to a good feud where Black would be the face and Adam the heel champion. The fans are excited to see the feud and the eventual payoff.
