Matt Cardona made a surprise appearance on ROH TV last night
and came out to challenge Chris Jericho for the ROH World
title at the upcoming Final Battle event on December 20.
Jericho came out for his TV Time segment with Bryan Keith
and informed the crowd that for Final Battle, he wants to
take on someone who is from New York since the show will be
held at the Hammerstein Ballroom.
The champ jokingly name dropped Frank Sinatra and Tony
Soprano but instead he got Matt Cardona. Jericho was going
to call him Zack Ryder, but Cardona cut him off and told him
that “Zack is dead” and the one who’s going to take the
title away from him at Final Battle is Matt Cardona.
Cardona is a regular for GCW and recently AEW pulled Ricky
Starks from future GCW shows and also booked the Hammerstein
for three straight nights.
“I’m excited for Matt and excited for the fans,” GCW owner
Brett Lauderdale said. “It will be a fun atmosphere at The
Hammerstein Ballroom for AEW and I think things may have
just gotten a little more interesting for GCW’s return to
The Hammerstein Ballroom on January 19th!”
Lauderdale also posted “ALWAYZ READY” on X, a term used by
Cardona.
