WWE superstar Chelsea Green recently took to social media to share a heartfelt message as her real-life husband, Matt Cardona (formerly known as Zack Ryder in WWE), underwent surgery.
Cardona’s wrestling journey began with WWE in 2005, eventually moving to the main roster in 2007 alongside Curt Hawkins. He gained prominence, winning multiple titles before his release in 2020 due to COVID-19 budget cuts.
Since then, Cardona has thrived on the independent scene, securing various World Titles. His recent appearance in AEW, where he faced Adam Copeland for the TNT Championship, showcased his resilience.
However, Cardona faced a setback as he tore his pectoral muscle, requiring surgery. Green shared a photo with her husband on Twitter, captioned,
“He’s off to the OR [heart emoji] @TheMattCardona.”
In an update, Cardona expressed gratitude for the successful surgery, thanking supporters and especially acknowledging his wife, Chelsea Green, for her unwavering support.

He also appreciated Dr. Daryl Osbahr for his expertise in the procedure.
Despite his injury, many fans eagerly await Cardona’s return to WWE. It remains to be seen if the accomplished wrestler has plans to make a comeback to the Stamford-based promotion in the near future.
