Matt Cardona Responds To Sixth SmackDown Loss With Defiant Message

Matt Cardona’s tough run on SmackDown continued during the April 10, 2026 episode, where he came up short against Trick Williams. The defeat marked his sixth loss on the blue brand since returning to WWE full-time earlier this year, adding further pressure to an already rocky comeback.

Despite the setbacks, Cardona isn’t backing down. Taking to social media after the show, he pulled back the curtain on how the match even came together, while also addressing his recent string of losses head-on.

“I wasn’t originally booked to wrestle yesterday on SmackDown. I was just going to film a commercial and maybe even fly home early. I still showed up in shape, tan, and ready to go. Guess what happened? Things changed and I got a match. I was… wait for it… Alwayz Ready. In my mind, that’s how it supposed to be. If you want opportunities, show up prepared… no matter what.”

Cardona acknowledged the result against Trick Williams but made it clear that losing is nothing new in his career, pointing to his long history inside the ring as proof that setbacks don’t define him.

“I didn’t get the win against Trick Williams. And yes, I’ve lost more matches than I’ve won since I returned to @WWE. But check my win/loss record over my 20 plus years in this business….even the past 5 years that I spent on the indies. I lose… A LOT! But when I win, I win BIG!”

Rather than sounding discouraged, Cardona’s message carried a tone of determination, closing with a clear warning that his story is far from over.

“I’M…NOT…FINISHED!”

Former TNA World Champion Confirmed For Rebellion Appearance

Former TNA World Champion Confirmed For Rebellion Appearance

EC3 is officially back in TNA Wrestling, bringing an end to the speculation that followed the promotion’s teaser earlier in the week.

After hinting at his return with a video showcasing familiar gear and merchandise, TNA made it clear on Saturday that the former world champion will be part of tonight’s Rebellion pay per view in Cleveland, Ohio. The announcement leaves little doubt that EC3 is set to re-enter the mix in a major way, especially given his history with the company.

TNA confirmed the news with a direct statement: “Ladies and gentlemen, two-time TNA World Champion @therealec3 RETURNS to TNA TONIGHT at #TNARebellion LIVE on PPV and TNA+ from the Wolstein Center in Cleveland, Ohio!”

The return marks EC3’s first appearance with the company in years, following a winding journey through multiple promotions. He parted ways with the National Wrestling Alliance in January after a four year run that saw him capture and hold the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship from August 27, 2023 to August 31, 2024.

Before that, EC3 built his reputation in TNA as a dominant force, becoming a two time TNA World Champion and one of the promotion’s standout stars of the era. His previous exit came under storyline circumstances during the 2018 Feast or Fired match, which led to a WWE stint before his release in 2020.

Now, with Rebellion set to take place tonight, EC3’s return adds another layer of intrigue to an already stacked card and raises immediate questions about his intentions and potential targets moving forward.

TNA Rebellion Betting Odds Favor Multiple Title Changes

The betting odds for TNA Rebellion have been released by BetOnline.ag, and they point toward a potentially eventful night with several championships expected to change hands.

There are five title matches currently scheduled, and notably, four challengers have opened as favorites to walk out with gold.

TNA Rebellion Betting Odds

In the TNA World Championship match, Mike Santana is listed as a slight underdog at +110 against Eddie Edwards, who is favored at -150 to capture the title.

The TNA Knockouts World Championship appears far more one-sided, as Arianna Grace is a heavy favorite at -1000 to retain against Léi Ying Lee, who comes in at +500.

In tag team action, The Hardys are underdogs at +160, while The System are favored at -210 to win the TNA World Tag Team Championship.

The TNA X Division Championship bout sees Leon Slater at +100, with Cedric Alexander favored at -140 to take the title.

Similarly, the TNA International Championship match has Trey Miguel as the underdog at +170, while Mustafa Ali is favored at -250 to become champion.

Outside of the title matches, Elijah is favored at -160 over Frankie Kazarian (+120), while AJ Francis (-260) is a strong favorite against Nic Nemeth (+175).

The matchup between Moose and Special Agent 0 is currently even, with both competitors listed at -120.

Finally, the “Hardcore Country” match is also evenly set, with The Elegance Brand and the team of Mickie James, ODB, and Taryn Terrell all listed at -120.

Amid chaos caused by the cancellation of several AEW and TNA talent matches on independent shows — including MJF vs. Nic Nemeth and Ricochet vs. Leon Slater due to reported “partner conflicts” — Total Nonstop Action Wrestling continues with TNA Rebellion tonight at the Wolstein Center in Cleveland, Ohio.

With multiple challengers favored and several close lines across the card, the betting odds suggest TNA Rebellion could feature a major shake-up in the championship landscape.

Finn Balor Laments Never Joining The O.C. In WWE

Posted by admin on April 11th, 2026

Finn Balor and AJ Styles share some notable parallels in their respective careers, with both men having led Bullet Club in New Japan Pro-Wrestling before later going on to WWE. During their time there, Styles and Balor separately reunited with Bullet Club partners Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, though the four of them never formed a long-term alliance onscreen. Speaking to Anderson on “Talk’n Shop,” Balor shared his regret over not joining The O.C.

“I was hoping that the four of us were gonna get to do this on ‘Raw,'” Balor said with a laugh, making the “Too Sweet” gesture associated with both Bullet Club and the NWO.

“I was kind of hoping for a Club run first, and then a little Balor Club for a couple years, and then The O.C. for a couple years, then maybe back to the Balor Club for a couple years,” Anderson said. “Don’t worry, Finn. If you need a couple heaters, brother, we are ready to come in.”

This led to Balor pointing out that he’d just been kicked out of The Judgment Day on WWE TV, with Anderson replying that Balor knew his number. Anderson and Gallows have both had several WWE runs, with their most recent ending in early 2025 with their release. Since then, they’ve returned to the independent scene and wrestled for promotions like the NWA, MLPW, and MLW, along with a brief New Japan return.

As for Balor, he’s seemingly on his own for now as he prepares to face former ally Dominik Mysterio at WWE WrestleMania 42. Though not yet confirmed, it’s been hinted that Balor will bring back his Demon persona for the bout, after the WWE star indicated that he’d want more creative control over its presentation if the Demon were ever to make a return.
