‘The Place Would Explode’: Former WWE Star Addresses Rumored Royal Rumble Return

‘The Place Would Explode’: Former WWE Star Addresses Rumored Royal Rumble Return WWE

Matt Cardona has commented on his potential WWE return ahead of the upcoming Royal Rumble premium live event.

With Royal Rumble 2025 to take place on February 1, there have been rumors swirling about potential returns planned for the Rumble matches.

Speaking on the Ariel Helwani Show, Cardona noted that he feels he has earned the opportunity to make a WWE return.

Believing the return would be well received, the former ‘Zack Ryder’ said:

“I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want another WrestleMania moment. Or to wrestle at Madison Square Garden, or to be on SmackDown with my wife (Chelsea Green). Of course, I do. I don’t think I’ve deserved anything and I hate the word ‘deserved.’ I think I’ve earned the opportunity to go back.

“And I don’t feel like it’s being cocky to say that if my music hit at the Royal Rumble, whether it be Zack Ryder or Matt Cardona, the place would explode. The roof would go off the place. Social Media would explode. I move merch. I know that. Haven’t been offered anything.”

“There’s been communication, very cordial. But there’s been no offer. And that’s fine. I can’t live my life like, ‘Oh my God! Are they gonna call me back?’ But if they do, it’s a catchphrase, but that’s the way I live my life, I’m always ready.

“I’ve worked my ass for five years to reinvent myself. I truly believe that I have, I truly believe I changed the game. I would love to go back if the circumstances were correct.”

Cardona’s wife Chelsea Green is the current and inaugural holder of the WWE Women’s US Championship.

Green recently shared her honest thoughts on Cardona’s potential WWE return ahead of Royal Rumble, which you can read more about right here.
