Matt Cardona Leaves AEW Future Uncertain After ROH Final Battle Loss

Matt Cardona is making moves in the wrestling world, but don’t count on him staying put anytime soon. The former WWE star stepped into the ring against Chris Jericho at ROH Final Battle in an intense battle for the ROH World Championship. Despite putting up a fight, Cardona came up short in his title quest.

What’s next for Cardona? Well, he’s keeping his options open. According to Fightful Select, Cardona isn’t signed to AEW, despite his string of appearances for Ring of Honor leading up to the event.

When asked about his status, Cardona played it coy, telling reporters, “I’m signed to the Major Wrestling Figure Podcast.” His response leaves people wondering about his long-term plans, as he’s also not under contract with Game Changer Wrestling, despite past appearances.

Cardona’s night at ROH Final Battle didn’t end on a high note. After the match, he had to be helped backstage due to an ankle injury and was later spotted on crutches. While the severity of the injury is unclear, Cardona remains optimistic. Sources close to the situation indicate he’s hopeful for a quick recovery.

Cardona’s ability to stay relevant and unpredictable has been one of his trademarks in recent years, but his next move remains a mystery. Will he continue to make waves in ROH, or does he have another surprise up his sleeve? Only time will tell.
