The Royal Rumble is quickly approaching which means fans will be talking about possible surprise entrants. Over the last few years Matt Cardona has been one of the most talked about names heading into the Royal Rumble, but WWE has yet to bring him back.
While speaking with Ariel Helwani on the MMA Hour, Cardona addressed a possible return and noted that he’s had gear ready for the Royal Rumble every year just in case. The former Intercontinental Champion confirmed that there’s been communication with WWE, but clarified that no offers have been made. Cardona then went on to say that he believes he would get a big reaction if he were to return at the Royal Rumble.
“I don’t care how you define success. Money, accolades, happiness, I’m the most successful I’ve ever been in my career right now. But 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. Of course I do. I don’t think I’ve deserved anything. I hate the word ‘deserve.’ I think I’ve earned the opportunity to go back.
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’d move merch. I know that. I haven’t been offered anything.”
