On his terms. The WWE roster has been turned over multiple times in recent years and several wrestlers have come and gone. Some have gone elsewhere to better success, which can cause WWE to want those wrestlers back. There are wrestlers who want to come back, but others are happier elsewhere. Now one former WWE star is interested in coming back, but he has some conditions.

During an appearance on Barstool Rasslin, former WWE star Matt Cardona (formerly known as Zack Ryder) spoke about what it would take for him to return to WWE. Cardona said it would be “The two C’s”, meaning “cash and creative”, also mentioning that there is no amount of cash to make him return if the creative isn’t good. Cardona also said that Steph de Lander, who he has been working with on the independent circuit, would have to return with him. De Lander formerly appeared in NXT as Persia Pirotta and was released in April 2022. Cardona was released from WWE in April 2020 after a fifteen year run with the company.

There is a lot here. Check out the interview (with the statement in question starting at 4:45), plus Cardona in WWE and on the independent circuit:

Opinion: This is one of things that could happen down the line but it seems that Cardona is rather happy with doing whatever else he comes up with on the independent circuit. While Cardona had success in WWE, he has also done very well wrestling outside of the company. If that works better for him, then he should keep rolling with it as long as he can, as he really has made it a success.

What do you think of Cardona’s demands? Do you want him back in WWE? Let us know in the comments below.
