Despite recent reports of a partially torn bicep, Matt Jackson is expected to remain visible on AEW television, according to Fightful Select. Although the injury will prevent him from participating in matches for the foreseeable future, AEW plans to utilize him in other capacities.
Jackson is currently central to a remarkable storyline involving the potential reunion of “Hangman” Adam Page with himself, his brother, and Kenny Omega, and he may continue to appear to advance this plot while sidelined.
The injury occurred during the AEW World Trios Championship match on March 15, where Jackson competed despite his condition. Recently, AEW portrayed an injury angle for The Young Bucks, featuring them leaving the arena in ambulances after an alleged backstage attack by the Blackpool Combat Club.
This storyline provides a reason to keep Jackson off the ring, allowing him to appear on TV with an arm sling or brace. Jackson is reportedly aiming to avoid surgery for a quicker recovery, which could also explain AEW’s interest in keeping him on-screen.
The situation surrounding his return and the ongoing feud between The Elite and Blackpool Combat Club remains uncertain, including when a match between the two factions might take place.
