Buddy Matthews suffered an ankle injury at Grand Slam. When does he hope that he can return?

AEW Star Buddy Matthews looked back on his match in the Grand Slam, in which he saw an ankle injury suffering before the bell rang.

Matthews returned to his home country of Australia to challenge the first international Grand Slam from AEW to the Kazuchika Okada for the continental championship. As could be seen through fan film material, the former Trios champion landed badly on his ankle as he made his entrance. Matthews is still able to participate in the match and lost to the rainmaker in Australia.

As can be seen afterwards in social media post, the Aew star was seen in a hiking shoe, which confirmed that he damaged his foot. Matthews was also seen on his honeymoon with his wife Rhea Ripley on crutches.

In conversation with Chris van Vliet, Matthews initially provided an update of his injury and added that he had managed to escape all the broken bones:

“It's okay. It rolled quite badly. Had an X -ray structure, MRI. There was no break, but there were partial tears and cartilage damage partially. [I’m] Go. I didn't walk, I didn't jump, I just started implementing Cardio, but then it somehow stiffened. We work it through, but the documents told me that I have never seen an ankle roll under someone without completely destroying, dismantling, dismantling. So I didn't break any bone, which was incredible, but then I had to wrestle 15 minutes later. “

The Aew star told the night of the injury and knew that something was wrong when he made himself, and noticed how the first one was both mentally and physically influenced:

“As soon as I rolled, it jumped off, and it was actually possible to sit in my corner, I look okada and I could just feel how my boot stuck and I am like, oh, oh. Obviously I don't know how bad it is.

I remember that I did the thing at the beginning, and then it started to really sink, the pain. Then I remember that Okada is coming to me and grabbed me to whip me into the corner instead of just walking and listening and being at the moment I am like me, can I arrive there? When I arrived there, I was the way I did it, what will come next? Then it simply runs and only strikes with this elbow. Now I'm two steps behind because I am only worried about whether I can do it at all. Somehow I did it, and we went through it and quite satisfied with how it came out when you consider how prevented I was. “

Matthews also spoke about how the medical team was surprised that the tape remained on the bone and technically did not break his promise to Rhea Ripley:

“I don't remember [if we cut anything out of the match]. I did a step-up rana and somehow ran. Because afterwards I remember the Doc. They had a trainer who made a football or rugby there in Australia when I did it. They pulled on it and they could say that they were like that, yes, I think they tore the tape out of the bone and pulled the bone. When I wobbled it when we did the test, he became as if it were falling. “

“I partially torn the league open, it didn't even tore it completely. When he re -upgraded it, he was like Oh God. When I touched the last time I was trying to fall off.

The next day I went to my honeymoon. I was unhappy and didn't let myself be brought down. She says: “You won't be hurt in this game.” I go: “Well, technically, I didn't hurt in the game, it's in front of the bell.” Then we spent a week on the gold coast and I didn't let them win. She would not be able to throw and go in my face. Do you remember our honeymoon? You couldn't go? 'Well, I hobbled around. “

When does Buddy Matthews return?

Matthews ended the memory with a more positive note and said he hoped to be back in the ring in the next few weeks:

“I hope sooner than later. I obviously have to get into the ring and get it out and come back in ring form. But I hope to cross my fingers in the next few weeks.”
