It looks like Buddy Matthews is going to be off AEW TV for a while, leaving the House Of Black struggling for members.
Earlier this month it was revealed that Malakai Black had been granted his conditional release from AEW. This left many questions over The House of Black, but it now appears we know more about the future of the faction. Buddy Matthews said he was going to be going away for a little while at a show on Saturday evening and it looks like that includes AEW.
Fightful Select reports that Buddy’s match ending spot during AEW Rampage: Grand Slam was a way to write him off AEW TV.
After this week’s AEW Rampage Grand Slam, Fightful was informed that the Great Muta spot was a way to write Buddy Matthews off television for the time being. We weren’t given context as to whether or not Matthews was being released, but had heard numerous times over the previous couple of months that he’d expressed dissatisfaction regarding his situation. Specifics of that aren’t yet known. One source contacted Fightful after the New York City tapings and said they believed it was Buddy’s “last night,” but that hasn’t been confirmed.

It looks like for now fans will have to do without seeing two members of the House Of Black faction on AEW programming going forward.
