More on Buddy Matthews signing, backstage impression of him
Added 2022-02-27 22:11:44 +0000 UTCBuddy Matthews finally debuted in All Elite Wrestling after being released by WWE way back in June of 2021.
We're told that Matthews and AEW had discussions as far back as last fall, but haven't learned when a deal was nailed down. In addition to working for Major League Wrestling and New Japan Pro Wrestling, there were overtures on behalf of IMPACT Wrestling to bring him in that didn't end up happening. Those that we spoke to in All Elite Wrestling said that Matthews made a good impression upon arriving at the venue. There was said to be another spot that particularly made a good impression, when he had a planned spot that he nixed when he found out it involved him using another person's finishing move.
Several members of the roster knew that Matthews was coming in and that he'd be aligned with House of Black as far as three weeks before he signed, leading many to speculate the deal had been done for quite a while.
