Matt Cardona comments on being there for Chelsea Green's title win and shares his thoughts on potentially returning to WWE.
On the July 17 episode of WWE Raw, Cardona was in attendance to see his wife Chelsea Green and Sonya Deville win the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship. Cardona, a former WWE Intercontinental Champion, has often teased returning to the company. He was released in 2020, and he has since reinvented himself on the independent scene. During his time away from WWE, Cardona has won the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship, the GCW World Championship, and the IMPACT Digital Media Championship.
Speaking with Sam Roberts for Busted Open Radio, Cardona was asked whether he thought, "That looks like a lot of fun" when he was in attendance for the sold-out show. Cardona initially responded by saying that he wasn't there to support Green. When Chelsea pointed out that they wanted the "tea", Cardona described how his dream was to be a WWE superstar, and he's open to talking to WWE if they call him. He then quoted Justin Bieber to note that he has a "never say never" mindwet.
“Listen, I am the Indy God, the Deathmatch King, right. First of all, it was about [Chelsea]. I didn’t go there for me. So I didn’t want to be backstage, I didn’t want to look like I was begging for a job. I made sure John Cone snuck me in and snuck me out. So I was watching and I was super proud of her winning the titles. But yeah, like, fuck, I want to walk out in a sold-out arena. It’s great. I’m the Indy God. My dream wasn’t to be a big fish in a small pond. My dream wasn’t to be a pro wrestler. My dream was to be a WWE superstar. So of course, listen, my phone’s working. If there’s a 203 number calling, I’ll pick up, and we’ll have a conversation. But Sam, we walked about the three C’s. But we’ll see what happens. Hey, to quote the great Justin Bieber, ‘Never say never," Cardona said.
