Former WWE star Matt Cardona opened up about his dream match with Cope

Matt Cardona and Cope have a long history together since the former started his run on the WWE main roster as one of the Edgeheads. Their story came full circle on the March 30, 2024, episode of Collision when the Rated R Superstar defended his TNT Championship against Cardona. After a hard-fought battle, Cope emerged victorious.

During a recent interview with Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp, Cardona revealed that his match against Cope was a dream come true, and he was going to forever be grateful for having that moment with his mentor. He further noted that he never thought this bout would ever happen.

"I guess AEW didn't love it because I never got a job," Cardona said. "But seriously, it was my dream match, and it was a great moment. I'm forever grateful for that match with Adam Copeland. I think just walking down that aisle—I'm getting goosebumps right now, you can't tell because I'm wearing this custom suit—but it was like, ‘Wow, it worked. Everything I've been doing, it's working, it worked.’ Validation, is that the right word?" Cardona said.
