WWE’s Chelsea Green wants to see her husband, Matt Cardona, return to the company so that he can get the ending he deserves.
After 15 years with WWE as Zack Ryder, Cardona was released from his contract in April 2020. Since then, the star has made in the independent wrestling scene, where he has proclaimed himself the ‘King of the Indies,’ as well as making appearances in TNA and AEW.
While Green was also let go from the promotion in 2021, she was able to return in 2023 and since then has been a Women’s Tag Team Champion as well as becoming the inaugural Women’s United States Champion.
Speaking to Justin Dhillon on Conversations with the Wrestling Classic, Green explained why she hopes to see Cardona make a similar comeback.
“I want to see Matt in WWE, honestly more than anything else, anything else that I even could want out of my career. I feel guilt because first of all, he supports me like no other. He’s so happy for me. He watches everything I do. He’s at shows when I’m winning championships. But at the end of the day, I go home and I know that this was his dream. I joke with you about the fact that I googled how to be a WWE Diva, but he didn’t. He literally came out of the womb wanting to be a WWE Superstar.
“So I just want him so badly to come back and have that final closure, that ending that he so deserves as, I mean, he was with WWE for a very, very, very long time. I think the fans want it too. Like, I don’t want to speak for anyone, but I just, I get a lot of people asking, you know, when’s he coming back? When’s he coming back? Gosh, I would love, love, love to see him back.”
