This is a comeback that the fans have been waiting for quite a while. Unfortunately, it seems that he&#8217;s yet to be made an offer.<\/p>\n<p>Matt Cardona has made his name outside WWE since his release, easily becoming the hottest indie star, working in GCW and in other promotions. The star spoke to Ariel Helwani recently, where he declared that he was ready to return at the Royal Rumble.<\/p>\n<p>He said that if his music hit at the event, be it as Zack Ryder or Cardona, then the place would actually explode and the roof would come off the place.

He said that he knew he belonged there.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI would love to be [in WWE] with [Chelsea]. Whether we\u2019re on camera or not, I think we\u2019re better together. I want to be there not just because she\u2019s there, but because I belong there. I know I belong there,\u201d he added.
