Matt Cardona has thrived on the independent circuit since getting released from WWE in 2020. However, it seems like the former United States Champion is ready to return to the Stamford-based promotion based on what he said in a recent video:
"People want to know what it's like to be the Death Match King, the Indy God. I don't know if you can tell, [but] it's fu*king raining. Just finished the show GCW in Brooklyn, I'm walking to my car, [and] I'm hoping [it] has not been towed in the rain. I wish you could see this. It is. It's raining. It's raining. Unbelievable. I need to go back to New York. I need to go back to WWE. Vince [McMahon], call me pal!"
#1 Madusa says Brock Lesnar doesn't know how to hit a German Suplex
Brock Lesnar is one of the most fearsome wrestlers to have set foot inside a WWE ring. The Beast Incarnate is known for his brutal, hard-hitting wrestling style and is famous for taking his opponents on a trip to 'Suplex City.'
Hall of Famer Madusa (aka Alundra Blayze), however, believes that the former Universal Champion does not know how to hit a German Suplex.
"It scares me every time I see Brock Lesnar try to do a suplex. I cringe every time. Brock does that (...) whatever he calls a German. I yell every time. I'm like, Suplex City, my a**. That is no German suplex!" [H/T Monthly Puroresu]
Brock Lesnar is currently on a hiatus from WWE after his feud with Cody Rhodes. He is expected to be back around the Royal Rumble 2024 season.
