Former United States Champion Matt Cardona recently claimed that he is now a WWE titleholder.
Cardona was released from his contract in April 2020 after spending 15 years in the Stamford-based company. Meanwhile, his wife, Chelsea Green, was also let go a year later. However, Green returned earlier this year to join forces with Sonya Deville. The two ladies recently defeated Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan to capture the Women's Tag Team Championships.
While attending the red carpet premiere of his best friend Cody Rhodes' upcoming documentary, "American Nightmare: Becoming Cody Rhodes," Cardona spoke about his wife's title victory, jokingly claiming she made him a champion again in the Stamford-based company.
