One week ago, Zack Ryder made his return to WWE after more than 5 1/2 years as a surprise in the Last Time is Now Tournament to determine John Cena’s final opponent.
Matt Cardona took to social media to reflect on the return and had the following to say:
It’s been 1 week since I showed up on SmackDown. I think I have milked the appearance as much as I can…haha. This business moves so fast. It doesn’t care what you did last week. What are you doing now…what are you doing NEXT?!
I’m very grateful for the opportunity I was given last week. Thank you @wwe. But most importantly, I have to thank the fans. You all caused the Ryder Revolution in 2011. In 2025, you caused the Ryder Resurrection!
It’s unknown what’s next for Zack Ryder…but I am ALWAYZ READY. Woo Woo Woo…You Know It!
(Buy my shirts on @wweshop 😉)
Anything is possible in professional wrestling but for now it looks like Zack Ryder is going back into hibernating as Matt Cardona continues to crush it on the independent scene.
