Matt Cardona was known as Zack Ryder during his time in WWE as he worked hard to establish himself in the company. Back in 2011, Cardona was on the cusp of greatness thanks to his Long Island Iced Z YouTube show, but it was not to be. Cardona also wants a run similar to Cody Rhodes if he comes back to WWE.

Following his WWE release in 2020, Matt Cardona reinvited himself in the independent circuit. He won numerous titles all over the world and is now arguably the most popular indie darling.

While speaking to Wrestling Inc, Matt Cardona revealed that if he does go back to WWE, he would like to have a run similar to what Cody Rhodes is doing right now.

“What a night for Cody and what a return it’s been, and he’s proven himself, which he has in the past before, but I think, right now, it’s truly his time… It’s super cool that he was able to bring his music, and his logos, and his nickname. It’s his package so, hypothetically, if I were to ever go back, yeah, I’d love to do something similar to that.”
