Buddy Matthews signed with All Elite Wrestling (AEW) in early 2022. Since then, Matthews has been an integral part of the promotion. The Aussie is one-third of the current AEW World Trios Champion with Malakai Black and Brody King as part of the House Of Black faction. Recently, the 34-year-old has been involved in a rivalry with another former WWE Superstar, Andrade El Idolo.
While facing him in a ladder match on the recent episode of the weekly edition of Collision, there was a moment during the bout that stunned many fans. Buddy Matthews seemingly had his shoulder popped back in place by a medical official after dislocating it.
Despite losing, there was praise online for the superstar’s commitment to finish his match. Matthews broke his silence on the incident that took place. Responding to a fan’s tweet of the same, he wrote, “Never question if I give you my all”. He was definitely sending the message to anyone who doubted his strength and abilities. You can check out the tweet here:
Buddy Matthews was released from the WWE in June 2021. The former tag team champion’s last notable feud was with the Mysterio family while aligning with Seth Rollins. Buddy was romantically involved with Rey Mysterio’s daughter, Aliyah, on-screen during the rivalry. Mathews is currently dating the Women’s World Champion, Rhea Ripley, in real life.
What went wrong with Buddy Murphy in WWE?
Buddy Murphy looked destined to be a huge star in the WWE. A wrestler who possessed talent and charisma was always set for big things. After signing with the company in 2013, Buddy kicked off his career on the then development brand, NXT. The young superstar held the Tag Team Championships with partner Wesley Blake for a massive 219 days.
Soon after, he was called up to the main roster to boost the Cruiserweight division in early 2018. The Aussie impressed everyone with his in-ring skills as he put on bangers for the division. Murphy ended up winning the Cruiserweight Championship at that year’s Super Show-Down, defeating Cedric Alexander in front of his home crowd. A year later, he was drafted to SmackDown, where it took time for him to be involved in his first major angle.
Buddy joined Seth Rollins and the AOP in March 2020, winning the RAW Tag Team Championships with the Visionary. After almost feuding with the Mysterio family for a whole year, Murphy turned on Rollins in November. This was his last notable appearance, and he ended up being released from his contract the next year. It isn’t an overstatement to say the 34-year-old was heavily underutilized.
