WWE star Matt Cardona shares footage of triceps tear, begins injury rehab

Weeks after tearing his triceps against Kit Wilson on WWE Main Event, Matt Cardona has now shared the exact moment and footage of it. On Aug. 23, 2026, Cardona revealed that he tore his triceps during his WWE Main Event match against Kit Wilson. The match in question took place on the Aug. 21, 2026, taped episode of WWE Main Event.

After weeks of tape delay, the match aired on the Sept. 3, 2026 episode of Main Event, and Cardona shared exactly when the tear happened on his social media. In addition to showcasing his injury moment, Cardona also addressed his recovery method.

“Here’s the footage of me tearing my tricep during a match against [Kit Wilson]. I hit my dropkick off the second rope and something didn’t feel right. But there’s no way I could hurt myself on a move I’ve done hundreds of times…right? Then I closelined him over the top rope and that felt weird too. Once I grabbed the rope for my baseball slide, I knew I tore my tricep. Injuries suck, but they are part of the job,” Cardona wrote.

He also announced that following his successful surgery, he would now be starting rehab to recover. “I’m recovering after surgery and start rehab today. I’ll be back. I’m not finished,” Cardona added.

Previously, Cardona had opened up about his surgery and shared his intentions of coming back earlier than his doctor’s expectations. “I worked too damn hard to come back to have this injury ruin it, so, I’ll be back, faster than the surgeon said, and I’m coming back to be the WWE Champion or I’m gonna die trying.”

As of now, there are no confirmed updates on Cardona’s in-ring return. His wife, Chelsea Green, is also suffering from an orbital bone injury.
