Chris Jerico speaks highly of Matt Cardona.
Cardona had a brief run in AEW in 2020 and made a one-off return on the March 30, 2024, episode of AEW Collision. He has appeared on AEW and R🍌OH programming in recent weeks, as he was revealed as ROH World Champion Chris Jericho's opponent for ROH Final Battle.
Speaking on , Chris Jericho was asked whether he thought that Matt Cardona wouldဣ be an asset to AEW if they signed him following his current run.
“I mean, he’s done such a great job of reinventing himself and turning himself into a star, and he’s so much more of a performer and of an asset now as Matt Cardona than he ever was as Zack Ryder. It’s similar to Jon Moxley. Think about Jon Moxley and the comparison to Dean Ambrose. It’s night and day. So of course, he would be an asset, and I think he’s done a great job since he showed up in AEW, and we’ve done a lot of stuff on Ring of Honor. Matt has done a great job, he had a great match with Bryan Keith. He’s had some great promos, great reactions because he was a surprise. So I expect that we’re gonna tear the house down [at ROH Final Battle], and I’d be very surprised if something doesn’t happen after that. Who knows? Either way, he’s done exactly what he needed to do to become more relevant than he’s ever been, and to become a bigger star than he’s ever been, and that’s why he’s in this position to begin with," Jericho said.
Jericho recently said that Cardona reminded him of Bret Hart. Check out his comments here.
