Matt Cardona was unsuccessful in winning the ROH World Championship from Chris Jericho at ROH Final Battle 2024.
According to Fightful, despite participating in numerous ROH tapings leading up to Friday’s event, Cardona has not officially aligned himself with either AEW or ROH.
For skeptics suggesting that this endeavour was aimed at bridging gaps between AEW and GCW, please take note that Cardona is not currently under contract with GCW either.
While GCW doesn’t typically bind talent with contracts, Nick Gage’s arrangement is a notable exception.
In a light-hearted response to Fightful’s inquiry about his contractual obligations, Cardona stated, “I’m signed to the Major Wrestling Figure Podcast.”
Post-match, Cardona was seen exiting the venue on crutches, due to an ankle injury sustained during the event. Now, Cardona is remaining “hopeful” that the injury isn’t a serious setback, and that he’ll be back in action soon.
