Top WWE Star and winner of the 2023 Men’s Royal Rumble Match “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes was a guest on the Good Karma Wrestling podcast, where he spoke about a number of topics such as how Matt Cardona has been the king of the indies for two years now and he is really proud of the former IMPACT Digital Media Champion as well as how he wants Cardona to return to the WWE and Cardona will be a big star if he does come back.
“The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes said:
“I’m really proud of him. He’s out there, he’s doing the ‘Indie God’ thing with the Indiana Jones hats. Everything Matt’s doing, Matt has been the king of the indies now, this is going on year two. You only usually get one run in that role, you know? He’s going on year two. What Matt does next is gonna be huge. If he goes to AEW, that’d be cool but if he comes back to WWE, that’s what I want, it would be off the charts. I think he’s a huge get, a huge free agent, he’s the best he’s ever been but he’s really pissed me off. I have no good karma with Matt Cardona at the moment.”
Cody Rhodes also spoke about an incident Matt Cardona had during a meeting with a certain member of a management and the things Cardona said about him during the meeting as well as how he loves Matt, but he is greatly irritated with the IMPACT Star at the moment.
“The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes said:
“I have this story about Matt (Cardona) which I’m gonna tell eventually about watching his first meeting with a certain member of management somewhere, how he tanked this meeting right in front of me and then one big line he hit in the meeting that I’ll never forget, this is one of my real life friends. He said, ‘I just wanna make it clear, I’m never putting on a Nightmare Family jacket or associating myself with him on-screen.’ I got you the meeting! Why!? Why did you just — under the bus right away so and then he said some other things that I’ll save for the story in a more longform setting but, I love Matt Cardona, I’m greatly irritated with him at the moment.”
