Tommy End, known in WWE as Aleister Black and Malakai Black, and Xelina, known in WWE as Zelina Vega, have withdrawn from a pair of independent wrestling appearances scheduled for this week in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The news was confirmed separately by PROGRESS Wrestling and OTT Wrestling, with PROGRESS co-owner Big Damo citing a “personal issue” as the reason for the change.
Big Damo, posting alongside fellow PROGRESS co-owner Nikki Storm, announced on X that Tommy End and Xelina would no longer appear on PROGRESS Wrestling’s Chapter 199: Bonestorm event, scheduled for October 25, 2026, at the Electric Ballroom in London, England. According to Big Damo’s statement, the decision was tied to a family issue affecting the pair.
The withdrawal is not limited to the London show. OTT Wrestling separately announced that Tommy End and Xelina have also been pulled from the promotion’s “BlackEND” event, scheduled for October 24, 2026, in Dublin, Ireland. OTT’s statement described the change as being “due to circumstances beyond their control” and wished the pair well, without providing further specifics.
Neither promotion has detailed the nature of the personal issue prompting the back-to-back cancellations, and no further information has been made public about whether the couple will be replaced on either card or whether the appearances will be rescheduled. The timing of the two cancellations, affecting consecutive dates in Dublin and London just one day apart, indicates the pair had been booked for a short run of independent dates in the region before the withdrawal was announced.
Tommy End and Xelina are both signed to WWE, where they perform as Malakai Black and Zelina Vega respectively, and have continued to take select independent bookings outside of their WWE commitments. As of publication, neither WWE nor the two performers have issued public comment beyond the promoters’ statements confirming the schedule changes.
