Cardona's WWE return has featured a 10 match losing streak on the main roster, with recent SmackDown defeats to Sami Zayn and Ricky Saints. WWE has worked the curse into his presentation, and Cardona has sought Danhausen's help in "uncursing" his run, including nods to the headband and sunglasses look from his Zack Ryder era.

Danhausen proposed Cardona go back to the Zack Ryder persona as a possible remedy, echoing the "Woo Woo Woo, You Know It" catchphrase from that run. WWE has not announced any official character shift, but the pitch arrives as Cardona's losses keep stacking on the blue brand.
