This week marks five years since Matt Cardona was released from WWE but his wife Chelsea Green is ready to see him brought back.
On a recent edition of the “Insight” podcast, Green shared her hope that Cardona, fka Zack Ryder, will be a WWE Superstar again one day. She said,
“We’re waiting. It’s gonna happen, I hope… Honestly, I could go on a whole podcast rant about all the things he’s done and why he deserves to be back.”
Green added that Cardona has been able to reinvent himself like nobody else, arguing that he’s had a bigger turnaround than Cody ‘Stardust’ Rhodes. She said,
“Cody did a great job of recreating himself, but at the end of the day Cody is Cody. Matt was a babyface for almost 20 years in WWE. His career was just all him being a babyface. Nobody believed he could be a heel and then he went out and became the biggest heel on the Indies ever. Well, I actually think the biggest star the Indies has ever seen, period.”
Cardona has been one of wrestling’s biggest success stories since his release, including reigns as GCW and NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion.
Cardona has also teased returning to WWE several times though has yet to resurface in the promotion he once called home.
