Matt Cardona was ’pissed’ when Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens joked about his WWE return

While we cross our fingers and whatnot hoping Kevin Owens’ neck/spine issues don’t prohibit his return to the ring and that he won’t be in immense pain or somehow immobile as a result of said possible return, WWE has occasionally found ways to let us entertain us. One of those was his appearance on Cody Rhodes’ What Do You Want To Talk About? podcast last month. During KO’s wide-ranging talk with a vodka-sippin’ Rhodes, he at one point explained that while he likes Matt Cardona, he has two issues with him. Owens hates his (and Bron Breakker’s) “wrestler tan”, and he thought it was ridiculous how much Cardona talked about returning to WWE while billing himself as “The Indy God” on the independent scene.
