Matt Cardona on Why He Trademarked ‘Zack Ryder,’ Reacts to Chelsea Green’s WWE Return

Matt Cardona recently spoke with MuscleManMalcolm for an interview covering all things pro wrestling. During the discussion, he commented on his wife, Chelsea Green, who returned to WWE this weekend by working the 30-Woman Royal Rumble match.

“She (Chelsea Green) was in the Royal Rumble? I missed it, I missed it… Maybe that’s when I went to go take a piss. Nah, I’m kidding. I’m super proud of Chelsea Green, super happy for her to go back to WWE. She needs to go back. I mean, she didn’t even have a cup of coffee there. She had the Keurig pot, didn’t even press ‘brew’, you know what I’m saying? She didn’t have a taste. She has to go now and she’s a superstar and now the whole world’s gonna know.”

Cardona also explained why he registered the WWE ring name ‘Zack Ryder’ as a trademark on January 14.

“Always ready. I’m a businessman. This isn’t ‘show friends’, it’s show business, as the great Scott Hall once said.”
