“the complete” matt cardona is always ready. from 2007 until 2020, he was one of the most popular wwe superstars as zack ryder, revolutionizing the way pro wrestlers utilized the internet, where he was dubbed the internet champion. since his wwe departure in 2020, he has become a gun for hire that has dominated the north american independent scene – as “the indy god” – but has also found himself appearing for all elite wrestling (aew), tna wrestling, ring of honor, national wrestling alliance (nwa), and game changer wrestling (gcw). from death matches to his own line of action figures, matt cardona has done it all and he’s done it his way. and now he’s bringing his american machismo to the great white north to become a top star for maple leaf pro wrestling.
