Matt Hardy was recently a guest on Chris Jericho’s podcast, Talk is Jericho. During the podcast, Hardy explained his decision to sign with AEW. In case you missed it, Hardy made his AEW debut on the latest episode of Dynamite.
Specifically, Matt opened up about his decision to leave WWE.
Here is what he said (h/t to WrestlingNews for the quotes below):
“I pitched idea after idea to WWE on my own and I never got any feedback. I would hear a little bit of chatter here and here. There was never anything that sparked any creative fire in Vince’s mind. It became frustrating.
They were trying to re-sign me to keep me under contract so I became WWE property. I wanted to be in a prominent role on TV. I don’t think Vince saw that for me.”
