Matt Cardona

Matthew Brett Cardona (born May 14, 1985) is an American professional wrestler currently signed to Impact Wrestling under his real name. He is best known for his time in WWE under the ring name Zack Ryder from 2005 to 2020 and had a brief stint with All Elite Wrestling (AEW) in 2020 under his real name. Cardona debuted in professional wrestling in 2004, teaming with Curt Hawkins on the independent circuit. Both men were signed by WWE the following year, making their main roster debuts in 2007. After the team split in 2009, he made appearances on WWE's ECW brand until 2010, following which he was featured sparingly on television. In 2011, he launched a YouTube web series in which he proclaimed himself WWE's "Internet Champion"; this, along with his creative use of social media, helped him establish a substantial cult following. Over the course of his time with WWE, Cardona held the WWE Intercontinental and United States Championships, and the WWE Raw Tag Team Championship with Hawkins on two occasions. Cardona was released by WWE in April 2020, and appeared on All Elite Wrestling for a limited appearance deal in July of that year under the name Matt Cardona. Cardona has been a free agent since the completion of his AEW contract in September and has been making appearances with Impact Wrestling since making his debut at their Hard To Kill event.
