Matt Cardona has addressed losing in his qualifier match for the upcoming WWE Championship #1 contender’s four-way match.
The January 16 SmackDown episode featured four matches to determine the competitors who will compete in a four-way match at Saturday Night’s Main Event. The winner of this four-way bout on January 24 will challenge for Drew McIntyre’s Undisputed WWE Title at Royal Rumble on January 31.
Matt Cardona had the opportunity to qualify for this bout, facing Trick Williams on SmackDown. Cardona ultimately came up short, losing his second match following his official WWE return.
Cardona has now taken to social media to address this loss, noting that he will not stop until he is the Undisputed WWE Champion.
He tweeted:
“I didn’t win my match last night on SmackDown. Not happy about it, but it’s not going to stop me. Check my win/loss record for my entire career.
“I’ve lost…A LOT. But when I win…I win BIG! I’m back in WWE to win the Undisputed WWE Championship…I’M NOT FINISHED!!!”
Trick Williams will be joined by Randy Orton, Damian Priest and Sami Zayn in the upcoming #1 contender’s match, following their wins over The Miz, Solo Sikoa and Ilja Dragunov respectively.
