Cardona speaks about the publicity.
In recent weeks, Matt Cardona's name has been mentioned on WWE programming. It started with John Cena bringing him up during his rendition of CM Punk's 'pipebomb.' After that, Cardona was discussed during Kevin Owens' appearance on Cody Rhodes' podcast, and to top it off, Cardona's name was chanted during the WWE Night of Champions post-show.
Circling back to the Rhodes and Owens podcast, Owens joked about how Cardona says he loves the indies but is constantly talking about how he wants to be back in WWE. Cardona said they were 'half-burying' him. Below is his full quote from his appearance on Notsam Wrestling Live!:
“Well, first, people were just sending me the video (of fans at WWE Night of Champions chanting my name) with no context and I’m at this loud wedding, I’m watching this video, it’s just Triple H talking. I’m like, ‘What is going on here?’ I went to the back, I went, ‘Ohhh! I see what they’re chanting.’ Listen, it’s great, I love it. I love that the fans still think about me, certainly that they’re still chanting for me and you know me, Sam, I’ll take any publicity. I will run with it. This one, I didn’t necessarily overexpose. I was kind of heavy on the (John) Cena, overexposing the ‘hey.’ Then Cody (Rhodes) and K.O. were, you know, I think they were half-burying me on their podcast. So I’m like, alright, let’s pump the brakes a little bit here.”
Cardona is currently feuding with Shotzi Blackheart in GCW, and they are scheduled to wrestle at the promotion's July 11th event.
