WWE reportedly contacted Buddy Matthews before his exit from AEW

By Robert Lentini Modified 27 Sep 2022 Follow Us 5 Comments Share Buddy Matthews was in the House of Black in AEW AEW star Buddy Matthews was apparently one of the names contacted by WWE while under contract with All Elite Wrestling. Easily lost amid the chaos of the last month were reports that WWE had contacted some AEW talent, raising concerns of contract tampering. AEW sent an email to co-CEOs Nick Khan and Stephanie McMahon to warn them not to tamper with their talent. Malakai Black was recently granted his release from the promotion but is under a non-complete clause for an undisclosed amount of time. In other words, Malakai cannot just show up on RAW or SmackDown as Aleister Black again. He will have to wait a while to do so. While it's unclear whether Black was contacted by WWE, a member of his stable apparently was. According to the Wrestling Observer's Ryan Frederick on the F4W Board, WWE reportedly sent out feelers to Buddy Matthews, Andrade El Idolo, Keith Lee, Adam Cole, and Kyle O'Reilly.

Buddy Matthews gave a similar promo to Malakai Black at an independent wrestling event and said he needed time to "recalibrate." Malakai noted that he needed to recalibrate the last two decades of his life in a recently released statement. Speaking at Fight Life Pro Wrestling, Buddy confirmed that he would be stepping away from in-ring competition for a while. He quoted Malakai and said that this wasn't a goodbye and that he would see the fans down the road. "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'm speaking for them all, 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." said Matthews [H/T: Fightful] Just Alyx@JustAlyxCentralBuddy Matthews announced he, just like Malakai Black, will also be taking time off from AEW. He cut a promo almost identical to the one Black cut at an indie event.
