In a post on X, Cardona asked his followers if they were interested in seeing him form a stable in the indy scene. He even teased holding tryouts for potential members of his still-unnamed group.

"I think I should start a stable on the indies. Who should be in? Should I hold try outs? @stephdelander is obviously already in," Cardona wrote.

This fan even went as far as pitching a storyline for the two former WWE Superstars:

"Ziggler turns on Cardona after the stable gets more popular, building Ziggler v Cardona (where Ziggler takes the internet Title in a deathmatch)"

Even some independent wrestlers volunteered to undergo tryouts. It will be interesting to see if Cardona will introduce a new stable. He's one of the top independent wrestlers in the world today, proving that there's life after WWE.


The Rock and John Cena paid tribute to Dolph Ziggler after WWE release

Dolph Ziggler was the biggest name released by WWE last week as part of its annual round of talent cuts. Ziggler had been with the company since 2004, starting his career at OVW and getting called up as part of the Spirit Squad. He was sent back to developmental in 2006 before returning under his current moniker in 2008.

Dolph Ziggler won't be able to sign with any promotion until his 90-day no-compete clause expires. Ziggler has already been linked with AEW, while his booming stand-up comedy career should keep him busy in the meantime.
