Matt Cardona Explains Why He Belongs In WWE

Top Indie star Matt Cardona appeared on The Ariel Helwani Show to talk about a number of topics, including his support for his wife, WWE Women’s United States Champion Chelsea Green.

Cardona said, โ€œI go and support her. Iโ€™m her biggest fan. When she won the tag team titles, I was there. I couldnโ€™t be there for the US Title, I was wrestling. I was doing a GCW show in LA. But when Iโ€™m watching, of course I want to be there with her. We barely see each other. We saw each other last week at the airport. Iโ€™ll see her next Monday because sheโ€™s in England doing stuff for Netflix right now.โ€

On wanting to be in WWE because he belongs there and not just because his wife is there as well:

โ€œI have indie shows, I have the Hammerstein Ballroom, I come home Monday, sheโ€™ll be there. So Iโ€™d love to be there with her. Whether weโ€™re on camera or not, I think weโ€™re better together. But I want to be there, not just because sheโ€™s there. I want to be there because I belong there. I know I belong there.โ€

On not having any jealousy over her career:

โ€œI will admit, for instance watching her at WrestleMania, Iโ€™m sitting in the press box, or Money in the Bank, Iโ€™m sitting there watching. Of course, Iโ€™m super proud. But of course, part of meโ€™s like, โ€˜I should be there.โ€™ But not, โ€˜I should be there and not her.โ€™ I should be there also. No [thereโ€™s no jealousy]. No way. Iโ€™ve been there, done that. Could be different if I was never there. But luckily I was, fortunately I was. Iโ€™m so grateful for that time. So Iโ€™m able to support her. But of course, I want to be there as well. So many guys and girls who leave WWE want to go back. But would they make a difference? I truly believe I would. Thatโ€™s why I really do think I should go back.โ€
