AEW Star Buddy Matthews Provides Update On His Recovery Status Amid Prolonged Absence

AEW star Buddy Matthews has provided an update on his recovery status amid a prolonged hiatus from in-ring competition.

Buddy last competed at AEW Grand Slam Australia this past February, when he faced Kazuchika Okada for the Continental Championship. During the match, Matthews suffered an ankle injury that has since consigned him to the bench.

This past summer, Buddy informed fans that he would be undergoing ankle surgery. He has since been posting regular updates on his recovery process. The AEW star recently engaged in a Q&A session with fans on his Instagram story, where one fan inquired about his recovery status. Matthews revealed that he is still reeling from nerve issues and that he has accepted the fact that his return to competitive action will take some time.

“It’s been a long process! Still having nerve issues with a lot of numbness! But accepted that it’s gonna take time. Really thought I’d have returned to the ring by now, but can only control what I can!”

411Mania wishes Buddy Matthews a speedy return to the ring.
