Matt Cardona has been featured prominently on IMPACT Wrestling lately. However, he is still a free agent.
Matt Cardona appeared on the Wrestling Perspective Podcast and gave updates on his contractual status. The GCW world champion revealed that he currently hasn't signed with IMPACT Wrestling or any other promotion, saying he "could show up anywhere" and "would love to bounce around." (H/T: Mandatory)
“I hate using this term 'free agent' but I guess technically I am,” said Cardona. “IMPACT has been awesome, IMPACT is my priority right now, but I don’t have a contract there. So I guess I could show up anywhere. I would love to just bounce around, but IMPACT is somewhere I feel I have a lot of opportunity, and as soon as I got there, I felt welcome there, I felt like it was a great place to be." revealed Cardona.
Cardona continued, drawing parallels between himself and IMPACT Wrestling. He concluded by saying that he feels IMPACT Wrestling is the perfect spot for him.
"I feel like Matt Cardona and IMPACT, our paths have kind of [been] parallel , where there’s been highs and lows and highs and lows. And people have counted me out [and] IMPACT out, but I feel we’re both on the up-and-up, and that’s why I feel like IMPACT is the perfect spot for me right now.” Cardona added.
