It's been a pretty interesting journey for Matt Cardona since leaving WWE.

The former Zack Ryder hit AEW for a cup of coffee last summer, working a five-show run that began with him debuting alongside Cody Rhodes and ended in a big tag match against The Dark Order at All Out 2020. He is yet to re-emerge there.

Since then, Cardona has jumped to IMPACT, working with former tag team partner Brian Myers. The company's links to AEW mean that further appearances on TNT certainly aren't out of the question.
