Buddy Matthews Injury Update

Buddy Matthews has provided an update on his recovery from injury โ€” and unfortunately, itโ€™s not the news fans were hoping for.

During a recent Instagram Live session, the AEW star opened up about the slow progress heโ€™s been making since suffering an ankle injury earlier this year.

โ€œThe ankle is not recovering as well as I thought it would be,โ€ Matthews admitted. โ€œThereโ€™s no mobility to it, if I canโ€™t have mobility, I canโ€™t move properly.โ€

He went on to explain how the situation has become increasingly frustrating. โ€œOnce it hits three months without healing, it becomes chronic. I thought Iโ€™d be back in the ring in April.โ€

Matthews sustained the injury during a high-profile bout with Kazuchika Okada for the AEW Continental Championship at the AEW Grand Slam: Australia event back in February.
