“Let me tell you something about Matt Cardona. So, they asked me if I’d be willing to fight Harley [Morenstein] or Matt Cardona, and I asked him if he wanted to fight, and he goes, ‘Bro, I’m not gonna fight anyone. I’m definitely not gonna fight you. Bro, no. Are you crazy? No, I’m not gonna fight.’ But, literally, he was like my first phone call. They wanted me to fight broski.”

Cardona previously won the tag team championship in WWE. He is also a former United States and Intercontinental Champion.

Since leaving the Stamford-based promotion, he has won titles across promotions, including GCW, ASW, SCX, and more. He has also competed under IMPACT Wrestling, where he is a former Digital Media Champion.
