Following his recent WWE release on Black Wednesday, Matt Cardona, formerly known as Zack Ryder, appears to be gearing up for something big.
The Long Island Iced-Z has teased a new logo and merchandise, along with completely new ring gear inspired by an ECW legend that he almost wore for a new character in WWE (View Photos Here), and has even registered a trademark for “Internet Champion.”
Cardona’s latest tease includes photos of him apparently shaving all of his hair off, as well as a close-up look at the Internet Championship Title Belt, with a caption that reads as follows:
“The reigning…defending……#AlwayzReady #NotThere @wildcatbelts.”
Check out multiple teases from Matt Cardona, f.k.a. Zack Ryder, teasing a potentially shaved bald head, Internet Championship title belt, new ECW legend-inspired ring gear and more below.

I originally planned to wear this gear in 2016, but didn’t. It is inspired by my wrestling trainer, @mikeywhipwreck_. I had planned to wear it a few more times, but for one reason or another, I didn’t get to wear it. I can’t wait to wrestle again and finally wear this. pic.twitter.com/T6B6D4Z99k
