10 GCW Wrestlers Who Owned 2021
1. Matt Cardona
Matt Cardona being at the top of this list might just be his biggest achievement as a heel since making his way to GCW. His rise to the top of the independent scene might seem like an unlikely story, but with his charisma and ability to get all eyes on him it isn't really that surprising that 2021 has been his year.
While Cardona in WWE as Zack Ryder was a babyface over with the crowd to the point that he was punished for it, in GCW he is the ultimate sports entertainer who believes his own hype. Entering the company to defeat Nick Gage for the GCW Championship before introducing his internet title to the promotion, the same one he created during his time in WWE, the loyal fans of the promotion instantly hated him. We have also seen him face Alex Shelley and lose the GCW Championship to Jon Moxley.
His ongoing feud with the owners and fans of GCW is exemplified in his decision to target Effy, who is beloved by the fans, in a series of matches for the Internet Championship. With Chelsea Green and Allie Katch also involved what does the future hold for the biggest heel in GCW?
