The American Nightmare issued a big challenge for Backlash

Cody Rhodes' promo on the latest edition of RAW was primarily focused on the fact that Brock Lesnar attacked him last week. He issued a challenge to him for Backlash 2023, but before he did so, he namedropped a good friend of his - a former WWE Superstar, Matt Cardona, and even got an immediate response on Twitter.

On this week's RAW, Cody Rhodes spoke about his failed attempt in the WrestleMania 39 main event against Roman Reigns. He also spoke about how his friend "Matt" told him that being in the main event of WrestleMania itself was a win and that wins and losses don't matter as much.

Matt Cardona has been making his name outside of WWE and is a good friend of The American Nightmare in real life.

Fans drowned out a popular wrestler with 'She's a racist' chants recently

As you may know, his wife, Chelsea Green, competes on RAW and SmackDown. Cardona took little to no time to respond, confirming that the "Matt" that Cody Rhodes referred to was him and not Matt Jackson of the Young Bucks.

Matt is currently making waves in the independent wrestling scene and seems to have found his character when he turned heel.
