Former WWE Star’s Name Chanted After Night Of Champions, Surprised Wife Reacts

WWE Night of Champions Cody Rhodes vs Randy Orton

The Saudi Arabian crowd recently chanted a former WWE star’s name at Night of Champions.

Last week, on June 28th, 2025, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the Stamford-based promotion hosted its successful event, ‘Night of Champions’. While, two new King and Queen of the Ring were crowned at the PLE, it also featured the final singles match between John Cena and CM Punk.

However, during the post-show press conference, fans witnessed loud chants about former WWE star ‘Matt Cardona’ emerge following Cena calling him out a few weeks ago. Live streaming on social media, the ‘Matt Cardona’ chants were heard all around the globe. While World Wrestling Entertainment has not yet addressed them, Cardona and his wife, Chelsea Green, recently reacted to it.

Green recently took to X(Twitter) and commented,

Is this… are they… do I hear… ??

ILY SAUDI ARABIA #MattCardona”

Previously, Cardona had himself reacted to the chants on X(Twitter).

Thanks Saudi Arabia…I heard you.”
Matt Cardona, previously known as Zack Ryder, was a part of WWE since 2005 and remained a crucial member of the roster before his exit in 2020. Since then, he has actively wrestled in the indies and evolved himself into one of the most ‘decorated pro-wrestlers’ of all-time.

A Former WWE Star Once Shared His Honest Thoughts On Chelsea Green

Earlier this year, while speaking on the What Do You Wanna Talk About? Podcast alongside Cody Rhodes, Brandi Rhodes shared her honest thoughts on Chelsea Green.

“Chelsea [Green] likes to walk on the wild side. She’s young, she’s not a mom yet. [Cody Rhodes] Chelsea is what we call a ‘ceiling looker’. [Brandi] Chelsea is the most naked wrestler. Who’s more naked than her? Chelsea, always be your naked self.”
