Matt Cardona undergoes surgery after sustaining torn triceps injury

Matt Cardona announced that he required surgery to repair a torn triceps sustained during a recent WWE Main Event match. The injury occurred during a contest against Kit Wilson on August 21, shortly after Cardona felt a pop following a second rope dropkick. Cardona indicated the injury likely originated during an impromptu match against GUNTHER, where he sustained several powerbombs without protective elbow pads. An MRI confirmed the tear the day after the match against Wilson, leading to a surgical procedure this past Tuesday. Cardona noted that the setback occurs as he aims to establish a position on the SmackDown roster and pursue a world championship. He remains optimistic about his recovery timeline and eventual return to the ring.
