Matt Cardona recently took to YouTube to post a video of himself reflecting on his 2024 to date and the possibility of making a return to WWE.
You can check out some highlights from the video below:
On his year to date: ?It?s been a wild year, celebrating 20 years in the business, 20 years since my first match, four years since I was fired from WWE. Now, I?m just coming back from injury. The doctors said six to eight months, I did it in four. Time is not on my side. I?m not getting any younger, but I feel like right now, I haven?t even hit the prime of my career. I feel like my best years are ahead of me. I?ve done it all on the indies. Winning titles, cover of magazines, all over the world, and it?s been fun, and I needed it, I needed to find myself, both as a performer and as a man. I did, I did it all. The time is now to go back. Where do I go? Do I go back to WWE? Do I go to AEW? Just having that taste even, earlier this year, wrestling Adam Copeland [on AEW Collision], just being out there, jam-packed, real arena, not the Ukrainian Cultural Center in LA or The Showboat Hotel in Atlantic City, a real arena, and the crowd responded, just on my entrance. It made me feel like, ?Okay, everything I?ve been doing, it?s working.’?
On his remaining goals: ?I didn?t dream as a little kid to just be a pro wrestler. I dreamed of being a top guy, the top guy. You have to have that goal to be successful in this business. I?m very fortunate in my career, 20 years, highs and lows. But I never got the big one. I never won the WWE World Title. That has to be the goal. Because if that?s not the goal, what are we doing? What am I doing here? What am I working towards? I might never achieve that goal, but I?m gonna die trying. I love the indies, I love everything about it. There are days, and we had a great show, made a lot of money on merch, and I?m thinking, ?This is f**king awesome, I can do this forever. Then there are days where I?m like, ?What the f**k am I doing with my life?? When I?m at f**king GCW in LA and the locker room is a f**king alley, or if I?m in the middle of nowhere, I do the show, I don?t get a f**king tweet about it. Did this day exist in my life? It?s not just like, ?I want to be back there.? Everyone wants to be back there. But I know if I was back, I?d make a f**king difference.?
