The former WWE star faced Kazuchika Okada for the AEW Continental Championship at Grand Slam: Australia in February this year. However, during the entrance, he injured his ankle. It led to him taking a break from wrestling since then, and he has been constantly preparing to make a return for a while. Recently, Matthews shared a video of himself from the gym with a motivational message.

In a reel shared on Instagram, the former AEW World Trios Champion can be seen doing the shoulder press exercises. In the caption, he revealed that the last eight weeks have been pretty difficult for him, and despite having surgery, he can still feel the pain in his toes. But this pain cannot stop him from showing up at the gym and recovering to make his return.

The Last 8 weeks has been extremely hard since my ankle surgery & to this day I still can’t feel my toes with chronic pain! But we push forward, we make the best of what we have! Life isn’t always full of Rainbows 🌈 & Butterflies! Be your own “self motivated hero!" he wrote
