Former WWE Star Says The Only Way For NWA To Thrive Is To Have Him As Face Of The Company

WWE/NWA

Former WWE star Matt Cardona says the only way for NWA to thrive is to have him as the face of the company.

Matt Cardona has become one of the biggest stars on the independent wrestling scene and even won the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship in 2022.

However, the former Zack Ryder was forced to relinquish the title due to injury in June 2022.

At NWA Paranoia on January 13, Cardona will challenge EC3 for the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship in the Ultimate Match of Death.

On January 10, Matt Cardona took to social media to preview the match and stated the only way NWA can thrive. He wrote:

“NWA Paranoia, it’s myself against EC3 for the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship. I know I sound like a broken record, but I’m the real Worlds Champion.”

“I never lost, and this is my chance to finally get it back in a Deathmatch, and I’m the Deathmatch King. EC3 calls himself the Overman, well I’m the Indy God, and I need to walk out as champ. Not just for me.”

Explaining why he needs to be a two-time NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion for the promotion to thrive, Cardona said:

“Of course, I want to be a two-time champ. But for Billy, for everybody in the back, for all the fans, and also EC3, for you. I need to beat you for you because quite frankly you need a place to work.”

“You need the NWA to not only survive, but to thrive. The only way that is going to happen is if I’m the face of the company.”

“Now EC3, you’ve done a great job as champion. I respect what you’ve done, I respect, you have evolved, you have controlled your narrative.”

“But now it’s time for the real Overman to take over, the Indy God, the Deathmatch King. This isn’t personal, EC3. I like you, you’ll always have a spot on the card.”

“But I am the top, I am the main event, I’m the show, I’m whatever it takes because I do whatever it takes. This Saturday, I don’t care what weapons you bring.”

“It doesn’t matter what you bring, bro. I’m the Deathmatch King. I beat Nick Gage. I beat the former king of the Deathmatch. There is no way I’m losing my throne and losing my crown to you, pal,”
