WWE is no longer the promotion pro-wrestlers rely upon for having a greater living. In recent years, many wrestlers have made a name for themselves outside WWE on the independent circuit. Currently, Matt Cardona aka Zack Ryder in WWE is a great example who has turned his career upwards after getting released from WWE. He has made himself the king of the independent circuit.

Recently, Matt Cardona defended his Impact Wrestling Digital Media WORLD Championship against Mysterious Q at River City Wrestling (RCW). Matt Cardona defended the title, but after the match, Q sneaked an attack on him. Cardona took upon Twitter to slam Booker T for this sneak attack.

Cardona said, “I successfully defended my @IMPACTWRESTLING Digital Media WORLD Championship tonight at @rcwforever against @Da_Mysterious_Q. I won fair and square…but Q decided to sneak attack me after the match. You teach him that @BookerT5x?!”

Booker T reverted to Cardona on Twitter, indirectly saying let’s have a match together. Booker said, “You better watch your mouth su*ka before I have to teach you something…”

It was a serious blame Cardona put on Booker T. The WWE Hall of Famer does not take any criticisms and does not listen much if anybody insults his students. Matt Cardona just marked himself in the list of Booker T. Who knows if Booker T appears ringside the next time Matt Cardona faces Mysterious Q or any other students of Booker?
