Former WWE Superstar Matt Cardona had a message for fellow wrestlers
Cardona recently took to Twitter to post a motivational message for fellow independent wrestling stars. The former Intercontinental Champion said that fans no longer come to see his WWE persona of Zack Ryder. Instead, he makes money while being Matt Cardona.
"I’m sure these comments are going to piss some Indy wrestlers off. I don’t care. MAKE. YOUR. OWN. MONEY. I get it. I’m the x-WWE guy. But I’d argue the majority of people aren’t coming to see Zack Ryder. They’re coming to see Matt Cardona…the INDY GOD. I did that. So can you," Cardona tweeted.
Fans want to see the 'Indy God' return on the Stamford-based promotion television, as his wife, Chelsea Green, is currently enjoying her time as the Women's Tag Team Champion alongside Piper Niven. It remains to be seen if Cardona will return or not.
