Matt Cardona issues public statement regarding his losing streak on SmackDown since returning to WWE
As seen during the April 10th 2026 edition of WWE SmackDown, Matt Cardona lost a match to Trick Williams. This was Cardona’s sixth loss on SmackDown since making his full-time return to WWE in January.
In a post via Twitter/X, Cardona addressed his losing streak on SmackDown…
“I wasn’t originally booked to wrestle yesterday on SmackDown. I was just going to film a commercial and maybe even fly home early. I still showed up in shape, tan, and ready to go. Guess what happened? Things changed and I got a match. I was… wait for it… Alwayz Ready. In my mind, that’s how it supposed to be. If you want opportunities, show up prepared… no matter what.
I didn’t get the win against Trick Williams. And yes, I’ve lost more matches than I’ve won since I returned to @WWE. But check my win/loss record over my 20 plus years in this business….even the past 5 years that I spent on the indies. I lose… A LOT! But when I win, I win BIG!
I’M…NOT…FINISHED!”
