Wrestling legend Mick Foley is contemplating one last match in his storied career, and a former WWE Superstar, Matt Cardona, is eager to be his final opponent in a deathmatch.
Foley, who last wrestled in the 2012 Royal Rumble, expressed his motivation for a final bout at the age of 58, particularly in a deathmatch scenario.
In a video shared on Instagram, Foley candidly addressed his physical condition, emphasizing the embarrassment of his sedentary lifestyle and expressing the belief that participating in a deathmatch would lead to a better life.

In response to Foley’s announcement, Matt Cardona, a former WWE Superstar, teased the possibility of being Foley’s final opponent in the comment section of the Instagram post.
This isn’t the first time Cardona has expressed interest in facing Foley in a deathmatch, boasting about his credentials as the “Deathmatch King” and asserting why he is the ideal adversary for the Hardcore legend.
The ongoing banter between Foley and Cardona isn’t limited to social media comments. In an episode of Foley’s podcast, Foley is Pod, the wrestling icon revealed his dream opponents for a final deathmatch—Jon Moxley and Matt Cardona.
Foley acknowledged Moxley as a potential opponent, but he highlighted Cardona’s heat in the Deathmatch world, envisioning their clash as something remarkable.
Reflecting on history, Foley and Moxley had a planned feud in 2011 when Moxley was in Florida Championship Wrestling.
On the other hand, Cardona has carved a niche as one of the top independent wrestlers globally and earned the title of the “Deathmatch King,” generating significant attention and interest from deathmatch enthusiasts.
As Foley contemplates his final foray into the ring, fans are left to speculate whether he will choose Moxley, Cardona, or someone else for this potentially memorable deathmatch, adding a layer of anticipation to Foley’s iconic wrestling journey.
