Matt Cardona says he has to go home.

Matt Cardona, formerly known as Zack Ryder, had a lengthy run in WWE, as he won the WWE Intercontinental Championship and the United States Championship, among other titles. Since he was released in 2020, he has reinvented himself on the independent scene and won titles in multiple promotions, including NWA, GCW, and IMPACT.

Cardona often teases potentially returning to WWE. He recently posted a video in which he drove by WWE Headquarters and joked that he was coming home.

After Cardona competed at GCW Crushed Up on September 10, he took to Twitter/X and posted a clip in which he expressed his frustration that it was raining. He stated that he needs to go back to New York. More specifically, Cardona noted that he has to go back to WWE, and he told “Vince” to give him a call. In the post, he wrote “enough of this Indy BS.” 

“People want to know what it’s like to be The Deathmatch King, The Indy God. I don’t know if you can tell, it’s fucking raining. Just finished the show, GCW in Brooklyn, I’m walking to my car that I’m hoping has not been towed in the rain. I wish you could see this. It is. It’s raining. Unbelievable. I need to go back to New York. I need to go back to WWE. Vince, call me, pal,” Cardona said.
