One of the funniest posts of them by Ripley was a mirror selfie capturing Matthews flexing under crutches with only one arm. Not even an ankle injury will cramp one's style, as Ripley wrote below the post in jest: “Ain’t no Roly-Poly ankles gonna keep us down! Let the honeymoon commence! ❤️☀️.” Just days before the Continental Championship match with Kazuchika Okada at the AEW Grand Slam, Matthews sprained that ankle but seems to have already taken it in good spirits during recovery.
