Matt Cardona spoke about a potential appearance in the WWE Royal Rumble. Cardona is not under contract with AEW and was never offered a contract after his recent run with Chris Jericho.
“There’s been communication but no offer in any way. Listen, every year, I’ve had gear ready for the Royal Rumble [laughs], every year. I always have it just in case. You never know. I have it just in case [for this year]. Well, I’ve had it for the past couple years [laughs]. It still fits. I will be there for WrestleCon. I’m gonna be there anyway [laughs]. I’ll probably have the gear because I’m always ready,” he said.
I don’t care how you define success. Money, accolades, happiness, I’m the most successful I’ve ever been in my career right now. But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want another WrestleMania moment or to wrestle at Madison Square Garden, or to be on SmackDown with my wife. Of course I do. I don’t think I’ve deserved anything. I hate the word ‘deserve.’ I think I’ve earned the opportunity to go back. I don’t feel like it’s being cocky to say that if my music hit at the Royal Rumble, whether it be Zack Ryder or Matt Cardona, the place would explode, the roof would go off the place. Social media would explode. I’d move merch. I know that. I haven’t been offered anything.”
