Buddy Matthews suffered an ankle injury during his entrance at AEW Grand Slam: Australia before his scheduled match with Kazuchika Okada could even begin. He’s been out of action since then and now his current in-ring return status has been revealed.
Sean Ross Sapp revealed during a Fightful Select Q&A that Matthews is not expected to return to the ring any time soon and will likely be out the rest of the year.
Buddy Matthews previously admitted his ankle was not healing properly and that there was a risk of a chronic condition. To prevent further damage, he choose to undergo surgery last month and is currently on the road to recovery.
