Long gone are the days since we have seen the Zack Ryder in action. After an unforeseen WWE release back in 2020, Card0na made himself a big fish in the pond of independent scenes.

He even declared that his WWE gimmick was now extinct. However, it seemed he could barely stop interfering in the WWE affairs. This time, he came up with a rather dumbstruck confession after a WWE-sponsored car was left missing.
