On January 2, Matt Cardona made his official WWE return during Friday Night SmackDown, marking his first appearance with the company in five years. Following his new contract signing, Cardona appears focused on launching a fresh chapter in his career, though past rivalries may resurface.
History Between Cardona and The Miz Could Lead to a Climactic Match
During Cardona’s previous WWE tenure, one of his standout moments was winning the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 32 in a Ladder Match. This victory was short-lived as The Miz reclaimed the title the very next night, aided by his wife, Maryse. This ongoing feud leaves room for Cardona to seek retribution against The Miz.
Potential for Cardona to End The Miz’s WWE Career
Given their rivalry and Cardona’s ambition, he is being considered as a possible final opponent for The Miz, who is edging toward retirement. This matchup would allow Cardona to conclusively defeat the former WWE Champion, providing a meaningful conclusion to The Miz’s WWE journey.
