Matt Cardona & Chelsea Green to ‘renew their wedding vows’ at GCW Homecoming

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Though he’s currently out of action after undergoing biceps surgery, Matt Cardona will still be playing a part in Game Changer Wrestling’s Homecoming weekend.

GCW has announced that The Cardonas (Matt Cardona & Chelsea Green) will “renew their wedding vows” at Homecoming day two on Sunday, August 14. The couple got married on December 31 of 2021.

Cardona tweeted: “I was injured at a @GCWrestling_ show. @Lauderdale11 didn’t offer to pay for my surgery/rehab. He then wanted to unbook me from Homecoming…the show that I MADE FAMOUS! In lieu of suing GCW, we agreed that @ImChelseaGreen & I WILL be booked & inviting you all to our vow renewal!”

Cardona suffered a torn biceps while facing Blake Christian for GCW on May 28. He underwent surgery for the injury on June 7.

The torn biceps resulted in Cardona having to relinquish the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship. Trevor Murdoch then won the vacant title.

In an interview with Sports Illustrated earlier this month, Cardona said he’s been told that he’ll be out of action for five months — but his goal is to return to the ring this September.

Cardona told Sports Illustrated that he’ll still be making the majority of his scheduled bookings despite being injured.

“I’m still going to be making towns. I’ve contacted every promotion I had booked, and all but two are still bringing me in because they know I sell tickets — and I rescheduled with those other two,” Cardona said.

“I’m not going to be stuck at home injured. I won’t be in the ring, but this isn’t a three-month vacation. I’m just as busy as I was, even with a torn bicep.”

GCW’s Homecoming weekend is taking place in Atlantic City, New Jersey on August 13 and August 14. Both shows will air live on Fite TV.

GCW has also announced that Maki Itoh will be making her debut for the promotion at Homecoming weekend.

Itoh returned to AEW for a surprise appearance last month, losing to Baker in the women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament.
