AEW star Matt Sydal has not appeared on AEW programming since May 2024. His last professional wrestling match took place in July of this year, where he faced Ultimo Dragon at the ABC 15ème Festival International De Catch in Béziers, France, but unfortunately, he came up short in that bout.
In the latest edition of Fightful Select Answers, Sean Ross Sapp discussed Sydal’s status with AEW. According to Sapp, a representative from the company confirmed that Sydal is still under contract with them. The report also noted that Sydal underwent ankle surgery last year, a procedure he had needed to address for over a decade.
Sydal first signed with AEW in November 2020, making his debut in the Casino Battle Royale at that year’s All Out pay-per-view. His last match with AEW occurred on Dynamite, where he was defeated by the reigning IWGP World Heavyweight Champion, Konosuke Takeshita.
Throughout his career, Sydal has also competed in ROH, NJPW, and TNA (formerly iMPACT Wrestling). He has won several titles, including the ROH World Tag Team Titles with Christopher Daniels, the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Titles twice with Ricochet, the NEVER Openweight Six-Man Tag Team Titles, and the TNA X-Division Championship.
