Matt Cardona is being positioned as a key challenger for Chris Jericho’s ROH World Title at Final Battle, following his appearances on this week’s episodes of ROH TV and AEW Rampage.
During this week’s episode of AEW Rampage, Cardona confronted Jericho after Jericho’s promo, where he made it clear that Cardona was lucky he hadn’t already punched him. The exchange escalated with some back-and-forth verbal sparring, but things turned physical when Jericho slapped Cardona, leading to a confrontation where Cardona eventually got taken down by Jericho. Bryan Keith attacked Cardona, and Jericho finished the assault by whipping Cardona with his title belt, adding more fuel to their rivalry ahead of the upcoming match.
Cardona has also been announced for the December 13th episode of AEW Rampage, which will be the ‘Winter is Coming’ special.
