The world of professional wrestling has been abuzz with speculation surrounding Matt Cardona, also known as the self-proclaimed “Indy God.” After a surprise return to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) on the March 30 episode of AEW Collision, Cardona sparked rumors about his future in the sport. The 38-year-old wrestling veteran has been making waves on the independent circuit, competing for notable promotions such as GCW and NWA, but his recent appearance in AEW has left many wondering if a full-time return to either AEW or WWE is on the horizon.
During a recent appearance on Busted Open Radio, Cardona addressed the elephant in the room, explaining why he hasn’t been signed to either of America’s top two promotions despite his international stardom. His response was straightforward, leaving fans and industry insiders alike to speculate about his next move.
Despite coming up short in his challenge against Adam Copeland for the TNT Championship, Cardona is already teasing a potential rematch. In a recent social media post, he hinted at a return to Long Island, his hometown, which coincides with AEW’s upcoming Forbidden Door pay-per-view event on June 30. The event, which is being held in conjunction with NJPW, has the potential to be the biggest edition yet.
Cardona’s wife, Chelsea Green, is currently enjoying a successful run on SmackDown, and her husband’s goals, as expressed on Busted Open Radio, may be influenced by her progress. As the wrestling world waits with bated breath for Cardona’s next move, one thing is certain – his passion for the sport remains unwavering.
The Indy God’s open challenge to Adam Copeland for a rematch is still on the table, and given the Rated-R Superstar’s open challenge for the TNT title, it’s possible that Cardona will make another appearance in AEW soon. However, what the future holds for this enigmatic talent remains anyone’s guess. Will he commit to a full-time run in AEW or WWE, or will he continue to thrive on the independent circuit? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – Matt Cardona’s name will continue to dominate the conversation in professional wrestling circles.
