Matt Cardona appeared on The Ariel Helwani Show, where he discussed several topics, including how WWE offered him a new deal before his release from the company, but he turned it down.
Cardona said, โI knew I was going to get fired because we got a little message from Vince McMahon like a general, like, video, the pandemic just started, April 15, 2020, best day of my life โฆ a year prior AEW was starting up, and WWE, I donโt know if it was because of this, I think it was, they offered everyone brand new deals with a lot more money and I didnโt sign it because I didnโt know if I wanted to stay or go. Ultimately the decision was made for me a year later, when I got fired.โ
