In a recent interview with The Wrestling Classic, Matt Cardona discussed several topics, including his recent alliance with Steph De Lander (aka the former Persia Pirotta in WWE NXT).

“Now that my Elizabeth has gone on to the WWE, I’ve found my Sensational Sherri in Steph De Lander. When Chelsea left, I knew that I needed somebody. First of all, you can never replace Chelsea, especially since she’s my goddamn wife, but I knew that I needed something, I knew that I needed someone and I knew that I needed a girl.

I’m not going to say I was looking everywhere, but I was keeping my eye open for somebody, I was just in Australia for World Series Wrestling, I saw Steph De Lander and said ‘Holy S***’, this girl is 6ft tall, she can kick my f***ing a**, she’s got piercings all over her face, so I’m like hey Chelsea, do you mind if I ask this girl if she wants to be my heater.

Once she said yes, when Chelsea gave me the green light, I brought it up to Steph, and then we did Australia, she came and helped me and Brian Myers, we did GCW, we just did the ECW Arena and we’ve got more bookings coming up, so we’re going to run with that for a while.”
