Mojo Rawley Feels Matt Cardona’s Current Persona Would’ve Fit Better In Hype Bros Than Zack Ryder

Mojo Rawley discusses Matt Cardona’s current run on the independent circuit, believing his current persona would have been a better fit for their WWE tag team. 

Both Mojo Rawley and Matt Cardona have been open about their time as The Hype Bros in WWE and not necessarily loving the short-lived pairing. In fact, when asked if he would ever team with Cardona again returning to the ring, Mojo says if they ever got in the ring again, it would be as opponents. 

Mojo does, however, compliment Cardona for his present-day body of work and says that this version of Cardona could “kick the crap out of Zack Ryder.” 

“You better believe that if we’re bringing this thing back, it’s not to team with each other. We did that dance we bought a very publicly stated, ‘Look, we were given that job. We tried to do the best we could with that job.’ When it comes to wrestling, Matt and I see everything just totally opposite, which made for some fun at one point. I’m sure we could have done a lot more with them that we didn’t actually get to present to the fans,” said Mojo on the You Know I’m Right podcast. “Yeah, if we wrestle again, it will absolutely be against each other. Matt’s done some incredible things in his career. Honestly, I think he’s hotter now than he ever has been, and it’s a testament to what he’s been willing to do, being able to control his own schedule and how hard he’s been working. I think this is the best Matt Cardona there’s ever been. I think Matt Cardona would kick the crap out of Zack Ryder. I think the attitude that he has now and everything he’s doing would have been great with The Hype Bros. We could have really done something cool with that, being able to tap into this whole mean streak and different side. Obviously, a lot of the things he’s doing now, he couldn’t have done, but maybe that’s what makes it so good, too.”

Matt Cardona has gone on record many times saying that Zack Ryder is dead and that if he was to ever return to WWE, he would like it to be as Matt Cardona. 

In the past, Mojo has openly said that he wishes he did more “mental work” while with WWE. Read his comments here.
