Matt Cardona spoke on a recent episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast about trying to obtain the ‘Zack Ryder’ trademark. Cardona was unsuccessful in his attempt to secure the name he used in WWE.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his attempt to get the Zack Ryder trademark: “I tried to get the Zack Ryder trademark. It had lapsed. WWE had let it go and I, and I tried to get it … I wasn’t going to be Zack Ryder on the indies. I wanted to film a Zack Ryder versus Matt Cardona cinematic match, you know, Matt versus Zack.”
On WWE reaching out to his lawyer: “I knew there was a chance WWE would try to stop that. They contacted my lawyer and I said, ‘Okay, you got it. I’m not fighting this.'”
