Summary

Matt Cardona says there is one bump from his WWE run that he has no interest in taking again, getting pushed off the stage in a wheelchair.

The moment came during the John Cena and Kane feud in the early 2010s, when Kane targeted people close to Cena and sent Cardona, then known as Zack Ryder, crashing off the stage. Looking back on his career, Cardona said that spot still stands above any individual finishing move when it comes to what he would rather avoid.

Quote from Matt Cardona

Cardona was asked during a recent interview if there was a finisher he would never want to take again. Instead, he pointed to that wheelchair bump.

"Oh, my God. I don't know. I've taken a lot of finishing moves in my day. I think the one thing I'd never want to take again... is get pushed off the stage in a wheelchair. Let's never do that again, okay? All right? Let's not."

Why the Kane and Zack Ryder angle still gets remembered

That answer says a lot about how brutal that Kane and Zack Ryder storyline came across on screen. Cardona has taken plenty of finishers over the years, but the stage spot is still the one he singled out immediately.

For WWE fans, it is also a reminder of how memorable that stretch of television was for Ryder's character. More than a decade later, that bump is still one of the first moments attached to that storyline, and Cardona's reaction shows it has not faded for him either.
