Matt Cardona Calls Out Two Different Promotion’s World Champions

AEW

Matt Cardona has called out two different promotion’s world champions.

Since leaving WWE in 2020, Matt Cardona has quickly become one of the most sought after free agents in the entire industry.

With successful stints in GCW, IMPACT Wrestling, NWA, among others, Cardona has made himself a highly touted independent wrestler who has made his presence known across the business.

Matt Cardona currently holds a variety of titles including the Internet Champioship, Xcite International Champion, DDT Universal Championship, HOG Heavyweight Championship, and more.

Speaking at a Starrcast media scrum (courtesy of MuscleManMalcolm), Cardona commented on the current NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion EC3. He said:

“Listen, I go way back with Tyrus. He had a hell of a run. I love Tyrus. I’m glad he got to go out on his own terms.”

“EC3, we’ve had history together, but I never lost the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship. I tore my bicep, I came back in record time.”

“Billy Corgan stripped me of the title. I respected his decision. I think it was the wrong move, but it’s not my company. So, as far as I’m concerned, EC3, he’s really just holding my title,”

Cardona held the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship in 2022, but he never lost the title and instead had to relinquish the title due to injury.

The former Zack Ryder is now working with Major League Wrestling and set his attention on MLW Heavyweight Champion Alex Kane. He stated:

“He’s gonna lose the title to me. Because I’m not coming to MLW or any company just to have a good match. Who gives a s**t?”

“I’m coming for buzz, money, and gold. If I can’t get all three of those things, I just won’t work there. It’s that simple,” 

Matt Cardona defeated Mance Warner in a Kiss My Foot Match at MLW Fury Road last weekend.
