Buddy Matthews is the Australian wrestler many fans first encountered in WWE as Buddy Murphy. His career spans WWE championship runs and an AEW chapter tied to the House of Black; comments he made in 2025 about an ankle injury, a faction name, and a possible Rhea Ripley storyline should be understood as dated remarks, not updates on his status today.
