AEW star Buddy Matthews, who has been out of action since February 2025, wrote on his Instagram that he has been cleared to return to the ring.
Matthews suffered a freak ankle injury during the AEW Grand Slam: Australia show while making his entrance for his match against Kazuchika Okada.
“The Devil signed the clearance,” Matthews wrote. “Hell stamped its approval. No more barriers. Only timing.”
In May, Matthews made a surprise appearance at the Rise Against event promoted by World Series Wrestling in his home country, hitting Dijak with a chair and then delivering the curb stomp on him.
