Matt Cardona is hurt, but he found a way into his wife's feud anyway. Chelsea Green got a cheeky message from him on X while her WWE rivalry with Nikki Bella keeps going. It was a photoshopped image of the two of them, with a caption lifted from a line in Nikki's entrance theme. Cardona is out with a triceps injury, and Green just defended the WWE Women's Championship against Bella on SmackDown. She won after a rough match that included a familiar taunt from Nikki.

I can look…and I can touch! @ImChelseaGreen https://t.co/ZrUGNEFjYG

Cardona Uses Nikki Bella's Entrance Line to Send a Cheeky Message to Chelsea Green

The image shows Cardona next to Green, with Nikki and Brie Bella's faces swapped out for the Women's Champion. The caption was short, but definitely not PG.

“I can look…and I can touch! @ImChelseaGreen,”Cardona wrote.

It twists a phrase from Nikki Bella's entrance theme, and he aimed it at his wife, who's been trading shots with Nikki both in the ring and outside it. Their title match was on the October 30 episode of SmackDown.

Nikki did Matt Cardona's signature taunt in the middle of the bout. Green answered with the Rough Ryder and got the win with a roll-up. Since then the two keep going at each other on TV and social media, and Cardona has been jumping in from the sidelines.

Matt Cardona Is Recovering From Surgery and Has His Eyes on the John Cena Classic

Cardona has been out since he tore his triceps in a match against Kit Wilson on the August 21 episode of Main Event. The surgery is done and he's working toward a return.

WWE announced the inaugural John Cena Classic for a special edition of RAW on December 14. Main roster stars will face NXT talent, WWE Club members vote to decide the winner, and the winner takes home the John Cena Classic Championship.

After the announcement, Cardona posted on X that he was aiming to be medically cleared in time. Cody Rhodes already got an invitation, but whether Cardona joins the field depends on his recovery timeline. The tournament airs December 14 on RAW.
