Kevin Owens mocks Matt Cardona, saying he talks a lot about why WWE hasn't signed him yet

Matt Cardona has become the talk of the town after John Cena mentioned him during his version of the "pipebomb" promo on SmackDown. During his appearance on the "What Do You Wanna Talk About with Cody Rhodes" podcast, Kevin Owens hilariously mocked Cardona.

The Prizefighter hilariously said that Cardona talks a lot about not getting signed by WWE for someone who calls himself The Indy God.

"I love Matt [Cardona]. The only thing I'll say is, for a guy who loves to be on indies so much, he sure fu**ing talks a lot about how much he wants to be back in WWE. Can't call yourself King of the Indies, and you are going out there telling people, 'I don't know why WWE hasn't signed me; I don't get it. If I were them, I definitely would have signed me,"' Owens said. [From 36:36 to 36:55]
