Formerly known as Zack Ryder, Matt Cardona sheds light on the factors behind his WWE stint and provides an update following surgery.
During his tenure with WWE, Cardona earned widespread acclaim, propelled by the success of his YouTube show and creation of the Internet Championship. Despite fervent support from the WWE Universe, Cardona’s trajectory within the company didn’t align with expectations, culminating in his departure in April 2020 after 15 years of service.
Since parting ways with WWE, Cardona has embarked on a journey of reinvention, gracing the rings of various promotions, including TNA and AEW. Addressing inquiries about his perceived setbacks in WWE, the 38-year-old asserted personal accountability, shunning blame on external factors:
“Myself. Only losers blame other people.”
With his recent surgery following a torn pectoral muscle, Cardona faces a temporary setback in his career. However, he remains resilient, expressing gratitude to his wife, Chelsea Green, for her unwavering support during this challenging period:
“Surgery done. The road to recovery starts now. Thanks to all who reached out. Thanks to @ImChelseaGreen for being by my side. Thanks to @DarylOsbahrMD for fixing me. You can’t kill me…I’m already dead,”

This setback necessitates a hiatus from the ring, potentially sidelining Cardona for several months. The timing of the injury couldn’t be more unfortunate, especially following his highly anticipated showdown against Adam Copeland.
As speculation looms over his return, fans eagerly await Cardona’s triumphant comeback to the squared circle.
