Matt Cardona sends ominous warning after WWE return

Matt Cardona made his surprise return to WWE programming on this week's episode of NXT. The former Zack Ryder was a part of the global juggernaut from 2005 to 2020 before being released due to COVID-19-related budget cuts. He interfered in the Winner Takes All Match between Oba Femi and Trick Williams for the NXT and TNA World Championships. Following this, Cardona sent out a huge warning to the NXT locker room.

Ever since Trick Williams won the TNA World Championship from Joe Hendry a few months ago, the rivalry between the two brands has been brewing. The Nashville-based promotion's locker room was very unhappy with the fact that its top title was being defended on NXT between two non-TNA stars.

During the match, stars from TNA started appearing in the audience. Following Mike Santana's attack on Trick, a huge brawl broke out between stars of both promotions. Matt Cardona has now sent a warning to the NXT locker room via his X account.

"I heard the people on Tuesday night at @WWENXT... I saw the response on social media... THANK YOU! The @ThisIsTNA invasion is just getting started! If anybody from NXT has a problem with that, come find me tonight on #TNAiMPACT... Or I can meet you at the @wwe Performance Center... I only live 20 minutes away!" he wrote.
