“In the Casket”: Former WWE Superstar Reveals How The Undertaker Unknowingly Helped Him in Proposing Chelsea Green

The Undertaker character is arguably the greatest ever to come out of WWE. He has a massive fan following all over the world. Even people who are not ardent fans of wrestling have heard his name. Taker’s popularity is such that not only the general audience but wrestlers are also star-struck by his mere presence.

The same was the case for a former WWE superstar. The Phenom unknowingly once came to his aid to propose Chelsea Green. He revealed it in a recent interaction. 

Former US champion reveals an interesting story featuring The Undertaker

Former WWE superstar Zack Ryder aka Matt Cardona has been married to Green since 2021. He recently revealed a hilarious story about how his proposal came about. What makes it all the more intriguing is it has a Taker connection.

During an appearance at AdFreeShows Cardona said, “When I proposed to Chelsea Green before WrestleMania 35, I had to bring the ring with me. I knew, not that she was gonna look through my bags, but you never know.”

“So I brought my Bone Crunching Action Undertaker casket, and I hid the ring in there because I thought there’s no f***ing way she’s gonna look in the casket. There’s no f***ing way. She’s gonna go, ‘Oh, it’s one of Matt’s f***ing toys.’ She’s not gonna open the casket. It’s not like she’s looking for the f***ing tombstone shovel accessory.” added the former NWA World Heavyweight champion.

Brosky did come up with a brilliant plan to keep his proposal a secret. And it seems like he was quite successful in his motives as well. Cardona, possessing a Taker action figure, displayed his fandom for The Hall of Famer. 

The former WWE superstar did not come up against The Deadman in a wrestling ring. Though, he was involved in a feud with his kayfabe brother Kane.

Cardona has always been considered an underutilized talent in the WWE. He received a push in 2011, only to see it crumbling before his eyes. It’s only after he left the promotion, he got successful in Impact Wrestling and the NWA. Wife Green made her shock return to the Stamford-based promotion in the women’s Royal Rumble match. And there have long been speculations around that Cardona could follow suit.

A return to the WWE for Cardona?

However, an immediate return to WWE looks unlikely. But stranger things have happened in the business. A return for Cody Rhodes was seen as unfathomable by many, but it did take place ultimately this year. Cardona has definitely become a bigger star than what he was when he had left the wrestling juggernaut. It will be interesting to see if a return to his former employee is on the cards for the talented performer.

The Undertaker is an immortal name in the wrestling industry. He has impacted innumerable lives throughout his career. Matt Cardona came up with an exciting story of how his life-defining moment was impacted by The Phenom. Whether in the ring or off it, Taker just continues to amaze with his telling contribution.
