In a recent appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show, former WWE Superstar Matt Cardona spoke about his wife, WWE Superstar and Women’s United States Champion Chelsea Green. Cardona expressed his desire to join WWE, but emphasized that he doesn’t want to return simply because she’s there. He stated that he wants to be in WWE because he feels he “belongs there,” while still fully supporting her. Below are some highlights (via Fightful):
Matt Cardona on his support for his wife Chelsea Green:
“I go and support her. I’m her biggest fan. When she won the tag team titles, I was there. I couldn’t be there for the US Title, I was wrestling. I was doing a GCW show in LA. But when I’m watching, of course I want to be there with her. We barely see each other. We saw each other last week at the airport. I’ll see her next Monday because she’s in England doing stuff for Netflix right now.”
Matt Cardona on wanting to be in WWE not only because Chelsea is there:
“I have indie shows, I have the Hammerstein Ballroom, I come home Monday, she’ll be there. So I’d love to be there with her. Whether we’re on camera or not, I think we’re better together. But I want to be there, not just because she’s there. I want to be there because I belong there. I know I belong there.”
Matt Cardona on not being jealous over her success:
“I will admit, for instance watching her at WrestleMania, I’m sitting in the press box, or Money in the Bank, I’m sitting there watching. Of course, I’m super proud. But of course, part of me’s like, ‘I should be there.’ But not, ‘I should be there and not her.’ I should be there also. No [there’s no jealousy]. No way. I’ve been there, done that. Could be different if I was never there. But luckily I was, fortunately I was. I’m so grateful for that time. So I’m able to support her. But of course, I want to be there as well. So many guys and girls who leave WWE want to go back. But would they make a difference? I truly believe I would. That’s why I really do think I should go back.”
