Major Update on Rhea Ripley’s Real-Life Husband Buddy Matthews’ AEW Contract Status
Amidst Rhea Ripley’s ongoing romantic angle with Dominik Mysterio, a new update sheds light on her real-life husband Buddy Matthew’s current status in AEW.
Rhea Ripley is, without question, a top star on WWE’s flagship show, Monday Night Raw. The Eradicator has been riding a wave of success for a while now and although she isn’t the current Women’s World Champion, she is in the running to reclaim her championship.
Considering her positioning in WWE’s top storylines, WWE fans have speculated a lot lately about her real-life husband, Buddy Matthews, making his return to the Stamford-based promotion. A new report has shed light on Matthews’ current status at the Jacksonville-based company, AEW.
Buddy Matthews has re-signed with AEW
It turns out that Buddy Matthews will continue his career at Tony Khan’s AEW. According to Ibou of WrestlePurists, Buddy Matthews has signed a new contract with AEW. However, it is unknown when exactly Matthews signed this new deal. In addition, his contract length also remains undisclosed.
Buddy Matthews made his AEW debut in February 2022 and joined the nefarious faction, House of Black, alongside Malakai Black and Brody King. The former WWE star has seen moderate success in AEW, as he held the AEW World Trios Championship for 175 days.
At present, Matthews has yet to make his return to AEW TV after his extended absence due to his marriage to Rhea Ripley. The couple recently tied the knot after dating for almost four years.
At one point in 2022, reports suggested that the Australian wrestler was interested in making a WWE return. At the time, it was known that Matthews was on a long-term deal with AEW. Moreover, earlier this year, fans clamored to see Matthews re-join WWE due to the ongoing romantic storyline involving Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio.
