Matt Cardona is injured.
Cardona posted to social media on Sunday to reveal that he tore his tricep in a match on Friday. He wrestled Kit Wilson in a match taped for WWE Main Event ahead of SmackDown at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto.
Cardona wrote:
“I wish my arm was this jacked. Unfortunately, it’s just swollen because I tore my tricep in a match on Friday night. (I still went to the gym today and did legs) I’ll keep you updated. I’M NOT FINISHED.”
On the August 14 edition of WWE SmackDown, Cardona wrestled Gunther in an impromptu match that took place after a segment involving Gunther, WWE Women’s Champion Chelsea Green and SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis. He returned to WWE as a full-time member of the SmackDown brand in January after having also participated in John Cena’s Last Time Is Now tournament last November.
