Buddy Matthews made a triumphant return to AEW Collision on August 3, reuniting with his House of Black teammates, Brody King and Malakai Black, to confront the AEW Trios champions, The Patriarchy. Matthews had been absent since suffering an injury in June, but his comeback was marked by an attack on Nick Wayne, who had just received the championship belt from Christian Cage. The segment escalated as the Bang Bang Gang also got involved, creating a chaotic scene where Nick Wayne was ultimately thrown back into the ring for a beating. Matthews' return not only strengthens the House of Black faction but also sets the stage for a potential three-way feud for the trios title. Additionally, during his time away, Matthews married WWE Superstar Rhea Ripley, adding a personal milestone to his professional comeback. Fans are eagerly anticipating the implications of these developments in the AEW storyline.
