Buddy Matthews Departing AEW After Grand Slam Event

AEW is going through a lot of changes, and it seems that a few people are departing from the company. Malakai Black was granted his release, and now it seems that fellow House of Black member Buddy Matthews might be done with Tony Khan’s company for now.

According to a report from Fightful Select, It was said that AEW Grand Slam was Buddy’s “last night” with AEW.

After the New York City tapings one source said they believed it was Buddy’s “last night,” but that hasn’t been confirmed. 

It was reported that the Great Muta spot at Grand Slam was a way of writing Buddy off AEW television. During the Fight Life Pro Wrestling show over the weekend, Buddy also addressed the audience with an interesting speech.

“Unfortunately, tonight, I’m going to be the bearer of some unfortunate news. As everyone knows, the House of Black has had some issues lately. As all the members of the house, I speak beyond the wall, we want to thank you all for being members of the house. Unfortunately, I, like some of the other members, need to go away for a while. I need to recalibrate. I need to figure out some things. As my brother Malakai once said, this isn’t goodbye, this is see you later.”

It seems that the House of Black is officially done in AEW. Only time will tell if Brody King and Julia Hart maintain their partnership, but Hart’s recent tattoo might be an indication of that.
