Matt Cardona is an individual who is not a stranger to most WWE fans. Known by the name of Zack Ryder in WWE, Cardona had an interesting WWE career. He even teamed up with WWE legend John Cena.

Following his departure from WWE, he wrestled in several wrestling promotions, including AEW. He is also the current NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion.

Recently, the former WWE superstar burnt WWE legend X-Pac’s 1-2-3 Kid Hasbro Action Figure. 1-2-3 Kid is a character used by Sean Waltman in WWE.

During an interview with WrestleZone, Cardona admitted he admired X-Pac and even bought the Action Figure back in 1998. And last year at WrestleCon, he met Sean Waltman. And Waltman signed it and they also took a picture.

But things took a turn after X-Pac attacked Matt Cardona last month. Following Cardona’s match against Joey Janela at GCW The World, X-Pac came to Janela’s rescue and saved Janela from an attack from Cardona.

He said, “First of all, I already had a broken nose. He comes in and gives me that X-Factor on my already broken nose. Horrible. The disrespect that Sean Waltman showed me.”

“I thought we were buds. And then he does that. I’m gonna burn that figure. I’m gonna post a video. Because I don’t want Sean Waltman in my life,” Cardona added.
