Surprising spoiler on Buddy Matthews' AEW return

A spoiler has been provided for the former AEW World Trios champion, Buddy Matthews' return to Tony Khan's promotion after June. He has been out of action for nearly two months.

Buddy Matthews last appeared on the June 15, 2024, edition of AEW Collision. He teamed up with Malakai Black and Brody King to face the Bang Bang gang. During the trios match, Matthews seemingly hurt his knee and was taken to the back by the medical team, and he has been off television since then.

It was later reported that Buddy would be absent due to personal reasons. Meanwhile, Matthews finally made his anticipated return on this week's AEW Collision tapings. A fan present in the arena leaked the picture of Matthews' return on the Saturday show and posted it on social media as well.

Speaking of Buddy's return, on this week's Collision, which will air on August 3, 2024, the House of Black faction, including Malakai Black, Brody King, and Matthews, interrupted Christian Cage. During the interruption, Cage was awarding the trios title to Nick Wayne and Mother Wayne, leaving out Killswitch. The Bang Bang Gang also appeared during the segment.
