Matt Cardona, who made his name wrestling as Zack Ryder in WWE, debuted for Impact Wrestling at last night’s pay-per-view. He’d wrestle in an unannounced match against Ace Austin, which lasted less than three minutes after Madman Fulton interfered and caused Austin to be disqualified. While it is not confirmed if Cardona has signed with Impact Wrestling, he did take to Twitter after the match, thanking Scott D’Amore for the opportunity and declared he isn’t done with Austin and Fulton.
This is Cardona’s third promotion in nine months, as after he was let go by WWE in April 2020, he’d debut for AEW on the July 29 episode of Dynamite and saved Cody Rhodes from an attack bt Alex Reynolds and John Silver. The following week teamed with Cody against the Dark Order members for his in-ring debut. His final match with Tony Khan’s promotion came at All Out on September 5, 2020, when he was part of an eight-man tag.
