In a new interview with WrestlingNews.co, Cardona recalled an instance in the airport where one of his bags was held back and how airport security thought it was a gun, but it was actually his Deathmatch King crown.

“I travel with four bags, it’s unbelievable. I have a bag with my clothes and my normal stuff, then I have a bag with all my gear and the championships, then I have a bag which is basically a portable mall, everything that I sell at my gimmick table. Then I have this case that looks like you’d carry a gun in it, it actually got stopped by TSA. They held my bag back, I was waiting at the conveyor belt and it didn’t come around. I went to baggage, they had it back there like it as a gun… it’s my Deathmatch King crown. It’s a lot of bags to travel with.”
