Cody Rhodes worked with many wrestlers throughout his run in AEW and at one point Matt Cardona was brought into the company. Cardona was released from WWE in 2020, but has since made appearances for AEW, NWA, Impact Wrestling, GCW and more.
Rhodes recently shared a story about his experience with Matt Cardona in AEW on the Good Karma Wrestling podcast, and he noted that the former WWE Intercontinental Champion refused to be associated with him on screen.
“I have this story about Matt which I’m going to tell eventually about watching his first meeting with a certain member of management somewhere and how he tanked this meeting,” Rhodes recalled. “Right in front of me. And the one big line he hit in the meeting, that I’ll never forget. This is one of my real-life friends. He said, ‘I just want to make it clear; I’m never putting on a Nightmare Family jacket or associating myself with him on-screen.’ I got you the meeting, [then you throw me] under the bus right away.”
Cody Rhodes also noted that he thinks it would be cool to see Matt Cardona join AEW, but he would like to see him return to WWE. Do you want to see Matt Cardona return to WWE? Sound off in the comments below.
