CM Punk returned to the Stamford-based promotion at Survivor Series in November. The Rock came back on the Flagship show this week. Plus, an old tag team reunited. This led to many pointing out that WWE had a 2011 reunion on the Day 1 edition of Monday Night Raw on January 1.

All these returns and reunions also led a certain former WWE superstar to grow nostalgic and remember his old days in WWE, when he was a part of the promotion, just like Punk and Johnson currently are. The superstar is none other than Matt Cardona. He also joked about not being getting the invite to the reunion.

Going to his official X (formerly called Twitter) account, Cardona (popularly known as Zack Ryder to the WWE Universe) shared a post on the social media platform. Seeing Punk, Johnson, and Awesome Truth on the same show on Monday triggered some memories, giving him flashbacks of his past in WWE.

Punk, Johnson, and Awesome Truth (the tag team of The Miz and R-Truth) were a major part of WWE in 2011. During that time, Cardona was having on his most successful run in the WWE. Fans showed their support for him, and he went on to defeat Dolph Ziggler at WWE TLC and claim the WWE United States Championship.

Reminiscing those days, he expressed his desire to be a part of the 2011 reunion. He even jokingly asked WWE to resend the reunion invite to his wife, Chelsea Green‘s address (which is also his address) in case the invitation got lost in the mail.

This may be a possible hint of wanting to rejoin WWE as he also talked about his openness to be a part of the 2024 Royal Rumble.

Last month, Cardona had an interview with Chris Van Vliet. During the interview, Vliet asked him whether the WWE Universe could expect him to make a surprise appearance at the 2024 Royal Rumble men’s elimination match. The former WWE superstar replied with an ambiguous answer.

He neither confirmed nor denied his return at Royal Rumble. However, he stated that he does return at the event and he is certain that the crowd will go nuts. This is the point where fans started to suspect the possibility of him appearing at the event.
