AEW star Buddy Matthews has provided a new update on his recovery from ankle surgery. The House of Black member has been out of action since suffering a severe ankle injury at AEW’s Grand Slam Australia event back in February, and he underwent surgery for it in August.
In a new post to his Instagram account on Wednesday, Matthews shared a positive milestone in his rehabilitation. He noted that he was able to use a hack squat machine for the first time since the operation.
“UPDATE: Today was the first time since surgery to hit a hack squat – still very restricted with ankle mobility but working on it daily! Numbness is still a factor but hopefully subsides in the near future but still unknown at this time. Swelling depends on the amount of rehab I’ve done that day but easily maintained with Icing post.”
No timetable has been set for his return to the ring.
