Former WWE superstar Matt Cardona (Zack Ryder) released a statement on his Twitter earlier today to thank the WWE universe for their love and support following his release from the company this past Wednesday. Cardona was one of the many talents who were cut due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. He also says that he’s not accepting any indie bookings until the virus outbreak clears up.
Thanks or all the love and support the past 48 hours. After 14 years in one place, this new adventure is one I’m beyond excited for. I’ve been getting a lot of inquiries about booking me. I cannot wait to wrestle again and meet more of my fans. However, with what’s going on in the word right now, I can’t accept any booking. It wouldn’t be fair to the fans to take bookings, announce them, have people spend their money on tickets for an event…only for it to be cancelled or rescheduled. The focus right now should be on staying safe and staying home until this pandemic clears up. Once people are able to gather together again, let’s hit the ground running. I cannot wait to get out there and perform for my fans!
Check out his tweet below, which also contains booking inquiries and an email regarding press.
