Buddy Matthews is on the shelf due to an ankle injury, and he recently gave an update on his recovery from surgery. The AEW star suffered the injury at AEW Grand Slam Australia back in February. He announced in August that he was having surgery done.
Matthews posted to Instagram on Wednesday with an update. He noted that he was able to do a hack squat for the first time since his surgery.
Matthews wrote:
“UPDATE: Today was the first time since surgery to hit a hack squat – still very restricted with ankle mobility but working on it daily! Numbness is still a factor but hopefully subsides in the near future but still unknown at this time. Swelling depends on the amount of rehab I’ve done that day but easily maintained with Icing post.”
No word on when he will return to the ring. On behalf of 411, our best wishes to Matthews as he continues his road to recovery.
