So, I get the feeling he asked for time off and everything else is assumption and conjecture and we're all jumping the gun here? (we including myself obviously)

edit: talking about Buddy, here. Brody King is obviously not going anywhere he's happy a.f in AEW

On today's Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez discussed Buddy Matthew's announcement that he would be taking time off to recalibrate.

Meltzer noted that Matthews basically said the same thing that Malakai Black said. Black has reportedly been given a conditional release from AEW and there's been talk that he's interested in going to WWE after being sent feelers by them.

Meltzer also confirmed that Matthews wants to return to WWE. He said, "He was on a show in Rhode Island last night and said that he needed to step away and recalibrate and he even mentioned Malakai Black. It was very similar wording to what Malakai Black said when he did that independent show a week or two ago. It's the same situation. How it's being handled [and] what's gonna happen is up in the air. But he's gone for now...Obviously, like Malakai Black, they both wanted to leave and they want to go to WWE. They're both under long-term contracts and we'll see how this plays out."​

So, we have Uncle Dave saying that, and Buddy saying something totally different. which one should we believe?

 

[Comrade Khan]

man Meltzer really big on the OBVIOUSLIES when not knowing anything himself is getting pretty annoying ngl. no "i heard people say this" no "some people are saying" . just " ITS THE EXACT SAME THING OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE HE HAD AN INDIE SPEECH"

again, not saying he's not interested in going back, but my go his wording lately on these articles are annoying af lol

I swear if all these fucks are playing games just to go back to WWE then the wrestling business is just as shitty in 2022 as it’s always been lmao

I'll say Dave. If the original article that was reported about was fake, I feel like Buddy could have shut it down in a way more convincing manner.

Meltzer can read minds.

Pretty weak argument lol

Meltzer vs Sapp in a House of Black on a pole match to see who's right

 

[Roy Mustang]

I feel like both are speculating here and neither knows much for sure. At least SRS is being more clear. Also:
