Former WWE star addresses Royal Rumble return speculation

Matt Cardona discussed the possibility of returning to WWE during an appearance on the Ariel Helwani Show. The former WWE Superstar reflected on potential future opportunities with the company ahead of Royal Rumble 2025.

Cardona emphasized his achievements since departing WWE, noting that while there has been communication with the company, no concrete offers have been made. His wife, Chelsea Green, currently holds the Women’s US Championship.

Cardona shared his thoughts on a potential WWE comeback:

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want another WrestleMania moment. Or to wrestle at Madison Square Garden, or to be on SmackDown with my wife. Of course, I do. I don’t think I’ve deserved anything and I hate the word ‘deserved.’ I think I’ve earned the opportunity to go back.

Royal Rumble ticket sales surge following John Cena announcement

The 2025 Royal Rumble at Lucas Oil Stadium has distributed 53,369 tickets, with 2,896 seats remaining. WrestleTix reports a surge of over 3,100 ticket sales in the past week:

John Cena is once again proving why he’s the biggest draw at the box office. Since I started tracking major wrestling events in 2021, his return at the ‘Summer of Cena’ added an additional 2,000-3,000 tickets, at a minimum, to every show he appeared at.
