The Majors Brothers made their main roster debut on the May 1, 2007, episode of ECW. The former OVW Southern Tag Team Champions put forth an impressive performance and defeated Marcus Cor Von and Matt Striker of The New Breed on debut.

Earlier today, Matt Cardona took to X (fka Twitter) to post about his debut match. He reflected on his journey from Brett Majors to Brett Major to Zack Ryder to Matt Cardona and noted he was still in the company.

“May 1 2007…19 years ago, I made my @WWE debut. From Brett Majors to Brett Major to Zack Ryder to Matt Cardona… I’m STILL here and I’M NOT FINISHED!” Cardona wrote.

Matt Cardona officially returned to WWE earlier this year

Matt Cardona wrestled under the ring name Zack Ryder for the majority of his time in World Wrestling Entertainment. Unfortunately, he was released from his contract with the company in 2020.

Following his departure from the Stamford-based wrestling promotion, the former WWE United States Champion reinvented himself on the independent circuit. He wrestled for several wrestling promotions and won multiple titles almost everywhere he wrestled.

Cardona returned to WWE to show up on NXT in 2025 as part of the TNA invasion storyline. He appeared on SmackDown a month later to wrestle LA Knight in the first round of the “Last Time is Now” tournament to determine John Cena’s final opponent. Unfortunately, he lost the bout against The Megastar.

The 40-year-old officially inked a deal with WWE at the beginning of this year. In his first match back, Cardona defeated Kit Wilson in a one-on-one contest on the January 2 edition of Friday Night SmackDown. His most recent in-ring appearance was in the 2026 Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
