Malakai Black and Xelina are set to appear for Over The Top Wrestling when the Ireland-based promotion presents BlackEND in Dublin on October 24.

OTT confirmed the two names as part of its initial lineup announcement for the event. Black and Xelina, who was previously known as Zelina Vega, join a card that is already set to feature several established OTT names, including OTT Champion Renzo Rose, OTT Women’s Champion Raven Creed, Nikki Storm, Big Damo, and Matthew “Bullet” Smyth.

The promotion’s announcement framed BlackEND as a stacked Dublin show, while also confirming that meet-and-greet opportunities are planned to become available. Match announcements and further event details have not yet been specified.

Black and Xelina Added to a Notable OTT Lineup

The addition of Black and Xelina gives OTT two internationally recognized performers for one of its October dates. Both have extensive experience on major wrestling stages, while their booking in Dublin places them alongside performers who have been central to the promotion’s own championship scene.

Black’s name is particularly prominent on the announcement because he has recently returned to championship success outside WWE. He was in action for PROGRESS Wrestling and captured the PROGRESS World Championship, giving him his first title victory since his WWE release. That development adds another dimension to his upcoming OTT appearance, even though no match or opponent for Black has been announced at this stage.

For Black, the PROGRESS title win marked an important milestone in the latest chapter of his career. A championship establishes immediate stakes around any appearance, and fans attending BlackEND will see him arrive in Dublin after adding that major accolade to his résumé. Whether the title will be present at the event, or whether his OTT appearance will involve championship implications of any kind, remains unconfirmed.

Xelina’s inclusion is also significant for the October 24 show. Listed by OTT under the Xelina name and identified as the former Zelina Vega, she brings another familiar presence to the event. Like Black, she has not yet been assigned an opponent or a specific role on the card. Her appearance nonetheless gives OTT another major attraction as the promotion builds toward BlackEND.

OTT Champions Renzo Rose and Raven Creed Are Also Scheduled

OTT’s announcement also places the company’s current champions at the center of the event’s early promotional push. Renzo Rose is listed as the OTT Champion, while Raven Creed is advertised as the OTT Women’s Champion.

Including both titleholders in the first wave of names provides a clear indication that BlackEND will feature the promotion’s active title picture in some form. However, OTT has not announced title defenses, challengers, or any individual matches. As a result, it is not yet known whether Rose and Creed will defend their championships on October 24 or simply appear as part of the show.

Rose’s presence ensures that the company’s top championship will be represented in Dublin. The same applies to Creed and the women’s title, which is a major part of OTT’s advertised lineup. With both champions named alongside Black and Xelina, the promotion has assembled a mix of homegrown titleholders and internationally familiar talent for the event.

That balance is notable for an OTT card. The announcement does not present Black and Xelina as replacements for the promotion’s established roster; instead, it puts them alongside the champions and performers who define the current OTT landscape. The result is an early lineup that leaves a wide range of possible matchups open as the event approaches.

Nikki Storm, Big Damo and Matthew “Bullet” Smyth Round Out Early Names

In addition to Black, Xelina, Rose, and Creed, OTT named Nikki Storm, Big Damo, and Matthew “Bullet” Smyth for BlackEND. Their inclusion gives the Dublin card further depth before any bouts have been officially revealed.

Big Damo’s announced appearance adds another veteran name to the show. His history and physical presence make him a natural point of interest whenever a card is taking shape, though OTT has not revealed who he may face. Likewise, Nikki Storm and Matthew “Bullet” Smyth are part of the lineup without any confirmed match details.

At this point, the key takeaway is the breadth of talent attached to the October 24 date. OTT has advertised its men’s and women’s champions, several of its recognizable regulars, and two notable guest attractions in Black and Xelina. The company has also indicated that additional names will be announced, meaning the card remains in its early stages.

With no matches confirmed, it would be premature to assume any particular pairing or title program. Black could be placed opposite an OTT regular, join the championship picture, or take part in a different attraction entirely. Xelina’s role is equally open. The same uncertainty applies to Rose, Creed, Storm, Damo, and Smyth until OTT releases more of its plans.

BlackEND Marks an Important October Date for OTT

BlackEND will take place in Dublin on October 24, giving OTT a high-profile event to build around during the autumn. The event name itself places Black prominently within the promotion’s marketing, and his announced involvement will naturally draw attention as additional card details emerge.

Black has cultivated a presentation that has made his appearances feel distinct across multiple promotions. His recent PROGRESS World Championship victory further increases interest in where he will compete next and how he will be positioned. OTT has not made any statements regarding a long-term relationship with Black, so the October 24 booking should be viewed strictly as an announced appearance for BlackEND.

The same caution applies to Xelina. Her appearance is confirmed for the Dublin event, but no further dates, storyline plans, or match commitments have been announced. OTT’s current promotional material establishes the pair as featured names for one show rather than outlining a broader schedule.

For fans of OTT, the event offers the prospect of seeing recognized international talent interact with a roster led by Rose and Creed. For followers of Black, it is another confirmed booking after his PROGRESS title win. And for supporters of Xelina, it is a newly announced chance to see her in Dublin under the OTT banner.

Meet-and-Greets Planned as Tickets Are Available

OTT has stated that meet-and-greet opportunities for BlackEND will be available soon. The promotion did not provide further information on which performers will participate, pricing, availability, or the timing for those opportunities. Fans interested in attending should monitor OTT’s official event updates for those details.

Tickets for BlackEND are available, with the event scheduled for October 24 in Dublin. As is often the case with early wrestling card announcements, the lineup is subject to further additions and changes, but the names currently promoted give OTT a strong foundation for the show.

Black, Xelina, Renzo Rose, Raven Creed, Nikki Storm, Big Damo, and Matthew “Bullet” Smyth are all presently listed for the event. More names are expected, while the match card and championship plans have yet to be revealed.

OTT BlackEND now has a date, a Dublin setting, and a growing collection of talent that includes its reigning champions as well as Malakai Black and Xelina. The next major question will be how the promotion turns that lineup into matches for October 24.
