Former WWE Star Drops Hint About Coming To AEW Soon

He would work. There have been a lot of wrestlers leaving WWE over the last few months, some of whom have left the company against their will. That can make for some major shifts in the wrestling world, but it can also be rather interesting as you wait to see where these wrestlers wind up. Another former WWE star has dropped a major hint about where he might be going.

This week’s edition of AEW Dynamite will feature the return of the Casino Ladder Match, which will see several wrestlers split into groups, who will enter the match at set times. There will also be a surprise entrant designated as the Joker, who will enter last. According to 411mania.com, former WWE star Buddy Matthews, better known as Buddy Murphy, tweeted out an image of joker. However, the tweet has since been deleted. Since his release from WWE, Matthews has wrestled a pair of independent matches but has not announced a signing with any promotion.

AEW could be getting a heck of a star. Check out Matthews’ time in WWE:

FULL MATCH - Aleister Black vs. Murphy: WWE TLC 2019

Buddy Murphy vs. Daniel Bryan: SmackDown LIVE, Aug. 20, 2019

Murphy vs. Seth Rollins: SmackDown, Nov. 20, 2020

Opinion: This has my attention as I could absolutely see Matthews in the spot, but I could also see him just messing with fans, which is something a lot of wrestlers have done over the years. Matthews is going to wind up in a promotion at some point and they are going to pick up quite the talent, but I’m not sure if that promotion is going to be AEW. The company already has all kinds of stars and adding another might be stretching things even further.

What do you think of Matthews? Who do you want as the Joker? Let us know in the comments below.
