Cardona is a two-time WWE (Raw) Tag Team Champion[lower-alpha 1] with Hawkins and has also won the Intercontinental and United States Championships once, as well as lots of championships outside of WWE. Because of this, he got the nickname "the belt collector". He created the WWE Internet Championship, but that title was not officially recognized by WWE.
