Matt Cardona was rumored to be returning to WWE at the 2023 Royal Rumble pay-per-view event this past January. While Cardona didn’t return, his spouse, Chelsea Green found her way back to the juggernaut promotion as she entered the 30-Woman Royal Rumble match at #20, only to be eliminated by Rhea Ripley in just five seconds.
In an interview with AdFreeShows, Cardona addressed his WWE homecoming rumors, suggesting that there were never any plans for him to return to Vince McMahon’s company. In fact, there was never any truth to the idea that he would be returning at the Royal Rumble. He said,
“The Royal Rumble thing — that was never in the plans. There were all these rumors about. I don’t know where they started. But, first of all, if it was true, I wasn’t going to confirm it in one of these goddamn interviews or on social media. And I knew it wasn’t true, but I wasn’t going to confirm that it wasn’t true because I want people to keep talking about me.”
