Zack Ryder Was Told By WWE The Internet Title Made Him ‘A Mark For Himself’

Zack Ryder carried around the Internet Title, but it never appeared on WWE television. There is a reason for that because he was told that the title made him a “mark for himself.”

Matt Cardona revealed during an Instagram live Q&A that the he was never granted approval to wear that Internet Title on television. He saw it as an accessory and the former Ryder never saw himself as a “Million Dollar” champion. It still never got the green light from WWE.

“So I was presenting it to someone to, you know, to get approval to wear it on television. I was denied and I was told that I’m a mark for myself, which isn’t true. But like I said, I didn’t actually think I was the Million Dollar Champion or the Internet champion. I explained. It’s just like the Million Dollar Championship, right? It’s an accessory. It’s cool because with a gimmick and you could have sold these things. You could have made a killing selling these things, the foam, the replicas. But that did not happen. I never wore that on WWE programming, but it’s in the video game. There’s a T-shirt with it and my action figure. but I never wore it on TV.”

There’s a very strong possibility that the Internet Title will be back. Matt Cardona registered a trademark for it. He also tweeted out a teaser which included his updated MC logo imprinted on a title belt.
