Matt Cardona Talks Working With Ex-Girlfriend Tenille Dashwood At Slammiversary

This week, GCW World Champion Matt Cardona made a second appearance on Oral Sessions with Renee Paquette. In their segment, they talked in-depth about his relationship with fellow wrestler Chelsea Green, what it’s like to work together side by side and when they plan on getting married.

In their first segment, Paquette and Cardona discussed him and his fiancé’s mixed tag team partnership. Green made her initial return to Impact at Slammiversary last month. From there, they competed in this year’s King & Queen Tournament at Homecoming. They made it to the semi-finals but lost to the Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo & Matthew Rehwoldt, who would eventually win the entire tournament.

“It was cool!” Matt Cardona started off saying about teaming with his real-life fiancé Chelsea Green. “So, I had the mystery partner at Impact’s Slammiversary. And, like, c’mon? Everyone knew it was going to be here, but sometimes in wrestling, you have to give the people what they want. The swerve is great, but sometimes, give them what they want. It was fun teaming with her.

“Listen, I don’t want to have a mixed-tag team career, but I would love to have her by my side. It’s great; it makes life easier. We have totally different schedules. I don’t want to know anything about her wrestling stuff. I don’t care where she is getting booked. I don’t care what move she is trying to work on or what storyline she’s in. I don’t give a s-t. I think that’s what makes our relationship last and work: we usually keep business and pleasure separate. So, it’ll be interesting traveling together. We were in the same hotel for Impact, and I hated it!”

Leaving that last statement wide open, Paquette then asked Cardona to explain why he prefers to have a separate hotel room from Green.

“Because I have my routines. And, like, she’s getting a makeup artist to come in and do her makeup at 9 in the morning, and I’m like, no, I’ve got to get up,” Cardona answered on why he doesn’t like sharing hotel rooms with his fiancé. “[On having separate rooms] If we wanna cuddle or makeout or whatever, yeah, come to my room, babe. But there’s no reason to be in the same room. I have my routine: I lay out all of my clothes, my supplements. She’s big on housekeeping. Like, I don’t want them coming in. I don’t care if it’s messy. I don’t need the bed to be made. I don’t need any towels. I don’t want anyone in my room. Just get ’em outta here.”

Going back to their initial topic about mixed tag teams, Cardona revealed he was the one that pitched the tag team match against his former ex-girlfriend Tenille Dashwood and Brian Myers at Slammiversary. He was surprised everyone worked so well together on this project.

“It was fine. It was actually my idea to do this mixed tag,” Cardona revealed. “I wasn’t sure if everyone would go for it, and everyone did, and it ended up being really, really fun. We were all super professional about it.”
