AEW President and ROH owner Tony Khan took part in the Final Battle media call, where he talked about a number of topics including why he brought Matt Cardona back to AEW and ROH ahead of Final Battle.
Khan said, “Matt Cardona is somebody I really like and I thought would be great to bring back now, because I want to work with Matt more. He was fantastic for us in AEW earlier this year, wrestling in the Cope-Open when Adam Copeland was defending the TNT Title. He just had a great match, a great reaction, and I said I really wanna work with Matt again, it’s been a long time.”
On Cardona’s popularity in the New York era:
“Just like Matt was a great challenger and could have been and could be a great TNT Champion, I think Matt would be and can be a great world champion for ROH. You have the prospect of Matt wrestling the nine-time world champion, somebody who has been essential to the launch of AEW, and also somebody who is a huge face for ROH and a legend of the sport and who draws headlines wherever he goes, and that’s the ROH Champion, Chris Jericho.”
