Matt Cardona vs. Bully Ray Announced For 7/1 Battleground Championship Wrestling Event

Matt Cardona and Bully Ray will clash in a heated rematch.

Cardona and Ray have been feuding for months, as the veteran has "extreme-shamed" Cardona while the former NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion remains adamant that he is an ECW Original. They traded shots in interviews and on social media over the course of several weeks. Ray defeated Cardona at the Battleground Championship Wrestling Tribute To The Extreme event on December 17, 2022. The two stars have reignited their rivalry in the NWA, as Ray somewhat cost Cardona his mach with NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Tyrus at NWA Nuff Said.
