Cardona has been away from WWE for about three years at this point. His 15-year run with the company came to an end during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. He has since established himself as one of the best heels on the independent scene. Here's what Cardona said about Triple H now being the head of creative in WWE, during his appearance on The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy:

“It doesn’t matter to me who’s in charge. I had a decent relationship with Vince, had a decent relationship with Triple H, so it really doesn’t matter who is in charge to me. I think WWE now, it is cooking on all cylinders, there’s no denying that,” Cardona said. [H/T Yahoo]

As for Dolph Ziggler, he is still a mainstay on WWE TV. The former World Heavyweight Champion currently performs on WWE RAW.
