Add as a preferred source on Google Matt Cardona may have found an explanation for his rough stretch in WWE: he might need to stop being Matt Cardona.
During an interview with Adam’s Apple, Danhausen was asked who in WWE needed to be cursed. Without giving it much thought, he pointed to Cardona, who has been piling up losses since returning to SmackDown.
“Matt Cardona for sure. He’s being pummeled every week. He needs to be cursed back into Zack Ryder. I think if he just put a headband on and some sunglasses and said, ‘Woo Woo Woo, You Know It,’ I think the curse would go away. But who knows?”
Cardona officially returned to SmackDown on January 2, defeating Kit Wilson with a Rough Ryder. Since then, though, things have changed quite a bit, as he has piled up several straight losses.
The connection between Danhausen and the former Zack Ryder has already surfaced on programming. Danhausen had previously suggested teaming with the “ghost” of Ryder, even creating the catchphrase “Boo, boo, boo, you know it.”
It remains to be seen whether WWE plans to turn the joke into something bigger.
