Matt Cardona Becomes The New GM of GCW
:gcw:
Matt Cardona is keeping himself busy in a non-wrestling capacity while recovering from a recent injury. He has announced himself as the new General Manager of Game Changer Wrestling (GCW).
The Indy God recently sustained a torn pec injury while competing for Reality of Wrestling last month. He has also undergone surgery and is not expected to return to in-ring action anytime soon.
Cardona kept his word and made a major announcement at GCW Rather You Than Me. He delivered a promo at the show and said that he might not wrestle at the promotion ever again. He said that fans don't need to call him the Internet Champion or Deathmatch King, but they will have to call him the 'General Manager of GCW.'
Cardona made his GCW debut in 2021. He soon became the GCW World Champion (first in any promotion) after defeating Nick Gage in a Deathmatch. His last match for the promotion before injury took place in April at GCW Joey Janela's Spring Break 8 where he defeated Blue Pain.
While Cardona remains away from in-ring action, he has announced that he will still be available to make appearances and autograph signings. He is expected to be on the sidelines for at least six months and that depends on rehab.
Matt's wife Chelsea Green made her return to WWE during the 2023 Women's Royal Rumble match and has been a part of the roster ever since. She has also enjoyed a tag team title reign. There have been speculation that Green's comeback could play a role in Cardona's return to WWE. Even the former WWE wrestler has told his fans to never say never regarding his return.
However, he has made it clear that his old gimmick 'Zack Ryder' is dead, and if he ever makes a return he won't be "just another guy on the roster". Alongside the fans, Chelsea Green is expecting Cardona to make a return to WWE.
