Matt Cardona, known as Zack Ryder during his WWE stint, has been a prominent figure in the independent circuit since his release from the company in 2020. Speculations have been rife about his potential return to WWE, and recent reports suggest that the company is indeed considering him for a comeback. In a recent interview with Barstool Rasslin’, Cardona shed light on the conditions that need to be met for him to return to WWE.
Cardona emphasized the importance of both creative freedom and financial compensation, stating that “the two Cs have to be right.” When asked if a substantial amount of cash could make up for poor creative direction, he responded firmly, “Not for me, not for me.” The former WWE Superstar also implied that partner Steph De Lander would need to be involved in any potential return.

Cardona’s comments have sparked interest among fans, who are wondering if they will finally get to see his return to WWE. It’s evident that the professional has high standards and is unlikely to compromise on his artistic vision and financial demands. With his credentials as the “Indy God,” Cardona has carved out a successful career outside of WWE, and any return would require a significant improvement in his treatment by the company.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding his WWE return, Cardona expressed confidence that he will eventually make his way back to the company. Fans continue to speculate about the likelihood of this happening, and many can’t help but wonder what the future holds for this talented professional. Only time will tell if Cardona’s demands are met, and if he will ultimately return to WWE as the same Matt Cardona who left the company in 2020.
