Former WWE Star Reveals Stalker Storyline They Pitched To The Company

In the world of professional wrestling a good storyline can go a long way, but unfortunately there are a lot of ideas that simply never make it to TV. Recently Matt Cardona, formerly known as Zack Ryder, has been taking to Twitter to reveal some of the storyline ideas that he pitched during his time with WWE, and they’re interesting to say the least.

Recently the former Intercontinental Champion posted a tweet indicating that he pitched a storyline that would have seen him stalk Bobby Roode in May of 2018. Ultimately WWE didn’t move forward with the storyline, but the pitch reads as follows:

“Here’s an idea I had about my character stalking Bobby Roode. Zack’s stalking of Bobby Roode would start innocently. For example, wishing Bobby good luck backstage or congratulating him after a win. The next week, he could be complimenting Bobby’s physique and ask to compare workout strategies. Social media could come into play with Zack talking pictures or videos of Bobby in the gym, restaurants, backstage, etc.

“One week Bobby could be in need of a tag team partner and Zack could insist that Bobby chooses him. Or Zack could inadvertently cost Bobby a match while trying to help him. After a few weeks of things like this, Bobby could get frustrated with Zack and tell Zack to leave him alone. This would cause Zack to snap and eventually viciously attack Bobby.”
