Matt Cardona went viral this week after a lighthearted but NSFW moment during a recent media appearance. He drew attention for a joke involving his wife, WWE Superstar Chelsea Green.
The comments surfaced during a food-themed video segment that quickly took a cheeky turn.
Cardona appeared on SPORTBible’s Snack Wars, where guests compare American snacks with their U.K. counterparts.
During the episode, Cardona was asked to weigh in on a Krispy Kreme donut versus a traditional British pastry known as a Chelsea bun — a setup that led to an obvious double entendre.
Matt Cardona’s Chelsea Bun Joke Goes Viral on Snack Wars
When informed of the pastry’s name, Matt Cardona immediately reacted with laughter before responding, “Have I ever eaten a Chelsea bun? Oh my god, I don’t eat it enough.” He continued leaning into the joke. Cardona added, “I might have to eat this whole thing, ’cause I don’t know if I’m getting any tonight.” He also joked that he had “a lot of Chelsea buns” before getting married, but not as many now.
As the laughter continued, Cardona appeared to realize how far he had taken the bit. “Her parents are going to see this. “Holy shi*,” he said, briefly breaking character. He then wrapped up the comparison by admitting the pastry itself didn’t measure up to the real thing. The WWE star quipped, “This doesn’t taste as good as the real Chelsea bun.”
The comments were an unmistakable reference to his wife, Chelsea Green, whom Cardona married in New Year’s Eve 2021.
While the segment was clearly meant to be humorous, it quickly circulated online due to the candid delivery and Cardona’s awareness that he may have crossed into risky territory.
Neither Cardona nor Green has publicly escalated the moment beyond playful acknowledgment. Moreover, the clip aligns with Cardona’s long-established reputation for leaning into humor and self-awareness during media appearances.
The appearance served as another reminder that Cardona remains comfortable blending wrestling personality with off-screen entertainment, even when it leads to moments that toe the line between comedy and cringe.
