Buddy Matthews will be out of action for a while longer as the
Australian star revealed that he underwent ankle surgery
yesterday.
Matthews suffered the freak injury at the Grand Slam:
Australia show as he entered the ring. Despite the injury, he
soldiered on and still had a match against Kazuchika Okada.
The former AEW Trios champ was hoping that the ligament and
cartilage damage would heal without going under the knife but
six months later he found himself where he didn’t want to be.
Matthews uploaded a photo from a hospital bed on Instagram
last night along with his wife Rhea Ripley. “Update: heading
into surgery to repair my ankle,” the post said.
