AEW star Matt Sydal has not been seen on television for a long time, and now we know why. The former WWE Tag Team Champion recently took to social media to talk about his absence and inform fans that he has been injured.

Matt Sydal made his AEW debut all the way back in 2020 at All Out as the Joker in the Casino Battle Royale. He challenged Brian Cage for the FTW Championship but came up short. Sydal was recently mentoring Lee Johnson before going off television.

Matt Sydal took to his Twitter account to thank the fans for their birthday wishes and provided an update on his health. He stated that he has dislocated his knee, but there are no tears in his ACL or PCL. The former Evan Bourne stated that he plans to come back better than ever.

Here is what Sydal had to say:

"Thanks for the birthday love. A brief update: I dislocated my knee a few weeks back which is why I haven’t been active in AEW. In good news, there were no tears in my acl or pcl. Gonna do some meditating then BRB better than ever."
