Earlier this week, WWE legend John Cena was mentioned as a dream opponent by Matt Cardona (fka Zack Ryder). Wrestling fans have now reacted to Cardona's post on Twitter.
Cardona was released by the company in 2020 after 15 years in the company. Since leaving WWE, the former Intercontinental Champion has made a huge name for himself on the independent wrestling scene.
On Twitter, Cardona expressed his desire to lock horns with his former on-screen ally at WrestleMania 40. He wrote"
"My dream match... Matt Cardona w/Steph De Lander vs. John Cena at WrestleMania 40."

WWE Hall of Famer on John Cena's most recent match
Last month, the 16-time world champion competed in his first one-on-one match in almost two years as he took on Austin Theory. The two stars battled for the coveted United States Championship at WrestleMania 39.
While some fans were happy to see him at 'Mania, WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long explained why John Cena's recent match did not click with him. On Sportskeeda's Wrestling Time Machine podcast, the former SmackDown general manager said:
"I'm just old school and I just always believe in doing business, and I just don't think Cena did business. I don't know this, but I feel that Cena is basically going to spend the rest of his career on [sic] Hollywood doing movies and stuff. I don't know. I don't want to say this, but I don't think his heart is in wrestling like it used to be. He's thinking ahead to the movies and stuff now." [1:46 - 2:12]
