Matt Cardona is officially back with WWE, and his wife, Chelsea Green, credits a major legend with getting him back.
During a recent interview with TMZ’s Inside the Ring (via WrestlingNews.co), Green said that she believes John Cena played a big role in his return. According to Green, she thinks that Cena helping Cardona get into Cena’s “The Last Time is Now” tournament was big for him.
“I really think that John, helping him get into that tournament, was what made WWE see like, Oh, wow. Like, that is a superstar that we need,” Green said. “He’s been very supportive throughout… especially after Matt left WWE… because that was always Matt’s goal.”
Green and Cardona are friends with Cena and his wife, Shay Shariatzadeh, outside of the ring. According to Green, the television show Junk or Jackpot, which Cena executive produces, was conceived during a hangout session the group had.
The WWE Universe got a shocking moment last week on SmackDown when Matt Cardona returned to the company. It was revealed during the course of the match that Cardona had signed with the company. He’ll now be the latest member of the SmackDown roster.
