Via Instagram, Matt Cardona filled everyone in on his triceps tear: “Hey guys, I just wanted to update you on my injury. For those who don’t know, I tore my triceps last week. I got surgery this past Tuesday. Let’s go back two weeks ago, Smackdown against Gunther. We had a fight. I got my ass kicked. It was an impromptu match, so I was in street clothes. No pads, specifically no elbow pads. And I got powerbombed on the announce table, got powerbombed on the apron, twice in the ring. And by elbow was bothering me, but I didn’t really think anything of it. And then even the next week or so in the gym, like it was bothering me. But I thought, ‘Okay, I’m just banged up. No big deal.’ And then last Friday I was wrestling Kit Wilson, and in the first minute or so I did a second rope dropkick. Landed on the front of my body, landed on my elbow like I do almost every match, and I felt a pop. And I thought, ‘There’s no way I hurt my elbow on a dropkick, right?’ So I clothesline him over the top rope and I’m like, ‘That felt weird too.’ And then I did my baseball slide dropkick where I hold onto the second rope… and holding onto the ropes, I had no strength in my arm. I said, ‘Okay, this triceps is torn.'”
