Matt Cardona has reacted after officially re-signing with WWE and joining the Friday Night SmackDown roster.
Almost six years since last being a member of the WWE roster, and two months since making a one-off return as Zack Ryder during the Last Time is Now Tournament, Matt Cardona is now officially back with WWE once again.
Returning on the January 2 episode of SmackDown in Buffalo, NY, Cardona arrived as a surprise opponent for Kit Wilson and scored his first win in the company since February 2020.
After his big WWE homecoming, Cardona jumped on Twitter and shared his first comments as a newly signed member of the SmackDown roster.
Sharing a defiant message in reaction to WWE’s post about his return, Cardona wrote:
I’M NOT FINISHED!
After Cardona scored the win against Wilson, WWE’s social channels wrote: “.@TheMattCardona with the WIN”, leading to this response from Cardona himself:
This is a real tweet
A Twitter user then shared a post that highlighted the parallels between Cardona and his wife Chelsea Green’s WWE journeys, with both being released and eventually returning after rebuilding their names on the independent scene, to which Cardona responded:
Don’t quit
Cardona wasn’t the only one to react to his big return, as WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H also took to social media to send a message to former TNA star – click here for full details.
