3 Things Matt Cardona can do after losing to Chris Jericho at ROH Final Battle 2024

Matt Cardona (FKA Zack Ryder) failed to capture the ROH World Championship from Chris Jericho at Final Battle 2024.

Earlier this month, Cardona made a shocking appearance in ROH to challenge Le Champion for the promotion's world championship at the Final Battle pay-per-view. However, he fell victim to the numbers game, as Bryan Keith interfered in the match and helped Jericho win the match.

Following his unsuccessful attempt to win the ROH World Championship, we're yet to see what The Indy King will do next. We're here to discuss the three possible directions for Matt Cardona after Final Battle 2024:


#3. Matt Cardona may finally sign with AEW

Chris Jericho recently said that The Deathmatch King was not a regular in All Elite Wrestling. Hence, it's likely Matt Cardona has yet to sign with Tony Khan's promotion. This could soon change, as the 39-year-old might finally sign a contract with the Jacksonville-based company in the coming weeks.

If he inks a deal, the former Zack Ryder can enter a feud with a young star such as HOOK or engage in a rivalry with a veteran like Christian Cage to start his full-time career in the company.

#2. He could return to WWE and join his wife, Chelsea Green, on SmackDown

It's no secret that the former Zack Ryder seemingly wants to return to WWE. If the company offers him a contract, he may join his wife and newly crowned Women's United States Champion, Chelsea Green on the SmackDown brand.

Upon his potential return, Cardona could set his sights on capturing the WWE United States Championship. If he manages to win the title, Cardona and Green may emerge as the hottest power couple on TV.


#1. Matt Cardona could show up at Wrestle Dynasty

The Deathmatch King needs to make another statement after coming off a major loss against Chris Jericho at ROH Final Battle. He should start looking to drum up excitement for his next move, and one thing that would bring the eyeballs back on him is an impromptu appearance at Wrestle Dynasty on January 5.

While everyone is looking forward to seeing Kenny Omega finally return in the ring against Gabe Kidd on the show, it will be a shock for everyone if The Indy God makes his presence felt. The former WWE star could make a further impact by going after the returning Omega. He could attack The Cleaner to kick off a new, impactful feud in Japan.
