Matthew Thomas Rehwoldt (born October 7, 1987) is an American color commentator and retired professional wrestler who serves as a color commentator for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), alongside Tom Hannifan. He is previously known for his time in WWE, where he performed under the ring name Aiden English.

Rehwoldt debuted on the independent circuit in 2011 as Matt Marquee. The following year, he signed a development contract with WWE in 2012[9] and was assigned to the farm territory Florida Championship Wrestling and later to NXT. In NXT, he formed a tag team called the Vaudevillains with Simon Gotch, winning the NXT Tag Team Championship.[10] They were called to the main roster in 2016, but the team ended in 2017 when Gotch was released. English was then paired with Rusev.[11] In 2019, he became a color commentator on 205 Live and NXT UK.[12] After being released from WWE in 2020, Rehwoldt began wrestling for Impact Wrestling and on the independent circuit under both his real name and the ring name Matt Morris.[8]

Outside of wrestling, Rehwoldt started the "Rough Cuts" social media campaign for unfinished art and the "Wrestling With Whiskey" project on YouTube.[13]
