Matt Cardona is a huge fan of “Macho Man” Randy Savage, so when you compare his career to the legendary Hall of Famer’s, after his Miss Elizabeth, i.e. Chelsea Green, went back to WWE, “The Michael Jordan of Wrestling Figure Collecting” needed to find a Sensational Sherri to accompany him in the next stage of his career. After seeing her in Australia, he knew that he had found the right partner and wanted to get started as soon as possible.

“Just look at her,” he said. “The piercings, she’s like six feet tall, the blonde bangs. That girl is it. I asked her if she wanted to be my heater [and] she said yes. Then I went to the promoter [and asked to] do this tomorrow night or whatever? Let’s f***ing start it now … It worked and then [I’m like,] ‘Okay well how am I gonna get her booked on all these shows that I’m already booked on?'”

Before they could convince promotions to book her and their new act, the first hurdle was Game Changer Wrestling. When promoter Brett Lauderdale initially turned down the booking, Cardona flew her in for Eye For An Eye 2023 and covered De Lander’s payday himself. But after seeing what the team added to the show, “The Death Match Queen” has made several more appearances at the prominent indie promotion and just about everywhere else her new partner has been.
