Matt Cardona recently talked about his latest evolution as “The Complete” in an interview with Justin Barrasso for Undisputed. He shared insights into how this new persona reflects his growth as a performer and the experiences that have shaped him in recent years. Cardona emphasized the importance of versatility in today’s wrestling landscape and how he plans to showcase different facets of his character.
Here are some highlights from their conversation:
Matt Cardona on his gimmick:
I’m the f—— total package. I know Lex Luger is ‘The Total Package’, but I know I can do it all. It’s something new, something fresh, and that’s why I am ‘The Complete.’ I’m here to reinvent myself and reinvent the whole independent scene.”
Matt Cardona on potentially going to WWE or AEW:
If someone in WWE or AEW calls me, we’ll talk. But that’s not where I’m at. I am focused on making tomorrow better than today. I can’t be bitter. I’m too focused on being better.”
Matt Cardona on wanting to wrestle JBL:
When I was in WWE, there was only so much I could control. Now I can control everything. Not everything is going to work, and I understand that. It’s why I’m dedicating my whole life to it. But I have all I’ve ever wanted–and that’s the opportunity. I can be on NXT on Tuesday. I could be on Dynamite on Wednesday. I would love to go to New Japan–there is a whole roster of people there I’ve yet to wrestle. I’m here to wrestle JBL on the indies–that’s a marquee matchup. No matter what, I’m going to keep killing it wherever I go–and give you something you’ve never seen before.”
