Brody King isn't worried that Buddy Matthews doesn't fit the tattooed, death-metal-driven aesthetic of AEW's House of Black.
Buddy Matthews, the former Buddy Murphy in WWE, recently joined AEW to make The House of Black a trio table along with Malakai Black and Brody King. Unlike Black and King, Buddy is not covered in tattoos and on the surface, may not match the look and aesthetic of the team.
Brody King, when asked about the visual of the three of them together, says he is not worried about Buddy not fitting a particular look, because Buddy Matthews has a physical presence like no one else and looks like he's always ready for a fight.
“Yeah, but he looks — I feel like if Buddy looked just like a normal guy, it might be a little bit more jarring,” said Brody King on the Wrestling Perspective Podcast. “But, he is so unbelievably jacked that it's like almost like — I don't know of another person that really looks the way he does. You got like Brian Cage or like someone else. But like, Buddy’s is just just like this massive human with like the most muscle definition I've ever seen. He looks like he's gonna kick the shit out of you at all times and he's unbelievably athletic.”
Brody King says they haven't thought about adding anyone else to the group but they are also a new trio that is still in the process of trying to find their own place in the company as even Malakai Black joined AEW less than 1 year ago.
“I mean, we're always talking about what we can do to make it more than what it is,” Brody said. “Even if it's not like now, but when. We haven't really discussed adding new people because we're just — with Buddy and I being so new to the company, and I mean, even Malakai has only been there since August, we're still trying to really establish ourselves and make the House of Black, like, a staple in AEW. Because it's one of the few things in AEW, that was created there. You had a lot of things that were created elsewhere that are kind of brought there and have gotten over there, but [The House of Black], in essence, has been fully created at AEW.”
The House of Black march to the beat of their own drum and have yet to be defeated as a team and also continue to climb in the rankings.
