Matt Cardona reacts on his AEW return.
On this week's episode of AEW Collision, fans in London, Ontario, Canada were treated to a huge surprise return from the"Indy God" and the"Deathmatch King" Matt Cardona. Cardona answered Adam Copeland's open challenge for the TNT title after he won it for a second time on AEW Dynamite last week. The two wrestlers have no shortage of history together in the ring but whenever Cardona has been asked what his dream match is, he always goes back to Copeland.
When Copeland was forced to retire from professional wrestling in 2011, Cardona thought all hope was lost. Then the unimaginable happened -- Copeland returned at the 2020 Royal Rumble. By that point, Cardona was on his way out of the company, so they didn't cross paths. Once again he lost hope that it's something that would ever happen until Copeland debuted in AEW at last year's AEW WrestleDream pay-per-view.
"This isn't just something I would answer Q&A's with on Twitter,"who's your dream match?" And I'm not even talking about our history — the Edgeheads, all that, 'he taught me everything that I know in this business, he saved my career.' I'm not even talking about that. I'm saying pre me even being a pro wrestler.
The congratulations came pouring in for Cardona from fellow wrestlers and fans alike. Cardona took to his social media pages earlier this afternoon to further discuss what the moment meant to him."When I was in high school, Edge was one of my favorite wrestlers. I'd have matches with him in my bedroom or trampoline," Cardona wrote."Him reinventing himself into the Rated R Superstar made me an even bigger fan of his.
