In a recent interview with Sam Roberts as part of the NotSam podcast, Matt Cardona discussed several topics, including the potential of a return to the WWE.

“I would have a conversation, I’m not saying we haven’t already, who’s to say. I think Zack Ryder is dead. Would it be cool, a woo woo woo, would that get a bigger pop, maybe for one night, as opposed to ‘Alwayz Ready’, maybe, because that’s more familiar with the WWE Universe and audience, but if I were to go back, I think it has to be as Matt Cardona.

I say like, you know, Razor Ramon came back as Scott Hall. I’m so fortunate for that time as Zack Ryder, it has set me up, when I say WWE was my developmental, that’s not a shot, that’s not anti-WWE. WWE taught me everything, it taught me how to have this run in all these promotions, it taught me how to do these interviews, it taught me how to be a superstar, so I’m forever grateful to the WWE for that, but if I ever go back, I think it has to be as me, as Matt Cardona.”
