Samantha Irvin's possible raw replacement for tonight, top SmackDown stars backstage

Pwinsider reports that Lilian Garcia is backstage at WWE Raw in Philadelphia, PA tonight. There are rumors that Samantha Irvin should have been replaced following her sudden departure from WWE.

Also backstage at the show are SmackDown Superstars Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Cody Rhodes, Solo Sikoa, WWE Women's Champion Nia Jax and Bayley.

Additionally, Matt Cardona recently announced that he has not received an offer from WWE or AEW despite doing very well on the indie scene since 2020.

Since leaving WWE, the former Zack Ryder has won titles in GCW, TNA, NWA and many other promotions.

While speaking with Justin Barrasso on the “Undisputed” podcast, Cardona opened up about his new “The Complete” persona. He said:

“I am the absolute total package. I know Lex Luger is the “total package,” but I know I can do anything. It's something new, something fresh, and that's why I'm The Complete. I’m here to reinvent myself and the entire independent scene.”

As for a return to WWE or AEW, he explained:

“If someone calls me at WWE or AEW, we talk. But I'm not there. I focus on making tomorrow better than today. I can't be bitter. I'm too focused on getting better. When I was in WWE there was only so much I could control. Now I can control everything. Not everything will work, and I understand that. That's why I dedicate my entire life to this topic. But I have everything I ever wanted – and that's the opportunity. I can be at NXT on Tuesday. I could be on Dynamite on Wednesday. I would like to go to New Japan – there are a lot of people there that I still have to wrestle. I’m here to wrestle JBL on the indies – it’s a quality fight. No matter what happens, I will continue to kill it wherever I go – and give you something you’ve never seen before.”
