Eight-time World Champion Chris Jericho has been in the professional wrestling industry for over 30 years. One of his former WWE stars who took advice from Jericho is Matt Cardona, then known as Zack Rider. During the Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast, Cardona revealed how much he respects Jericho and the advice Ocho gave him after his popularity exploded.

“Chris Jericho is someone I looked up to when I was a kid,” Cardona said. yeah. I wore tights on one leg in WWE, and he pulled me aside and said, It’s time to switch to swimming trunks and take it more seriously. ” He’s always been very supportive, and many years later, in 9th grade, I had a birthday cake with Chris Jericho on it, and now I’m Chris Jericho’s Oceanic Champion.”

Cardona once said he was one of WWE’s most popular acts, much of it from his YouTube channel. Cardona has held multiple championship gold medals in his WWE and has won both the United States and Intercontinental championships in addition to his two reigns in his tag team championships. Cardona said he was released by WWE in 2020, but his level of success has not declined since winning the GCW and his NWA World Heavyweight Championship. As he said in an interview, Cardona also recently became the first-ever Chris Jericho Cruise Oceanic Champion.

Bray Wyatt is set to wrestle at WrestleMania 39. My sources were unable to confirm who he will be up against at this time, but WWE confirmed that Code Orange would be ‘shuttered’ at the November show. Zero News explained. Bray Wyatt has been embroiled in intense competition from LA Knight for months before his 2023 Royal Rumble. He played his first televised match since returning in a unique setting, as the two faced off in the first-ever Mountain Dew Pitch Blackpass.

Roman Reigns will defend his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Sami Zayn at Elimination Chamber PLE in Montreal, Canada later this month. Zayn is a huge fan favorite. Many are hoping he will eventually beat Reigns, but that is highly unlikely, especially with WWE setting up a Reigns vs. Rhodes match at WrestleMania 39. It seems that. Sami Zayn is reportedly planning to team up with Kevin Owens to take on The Usos for the tag team titles at WrestleMania 39. 

In an episode of The Kurt Angle Show, Kurt Angle said he could outright beat Cody Rhodes in The Showcase of the Immortals. “I definitely think these fights are going to be really great. I expect him to win this one. I think it’s his time,” Angle said. American Nightmare hasn’t lost a match since returning to WWE. It will be interesting to see if his dreams come true on the biggest stage.
