Matt Hardy has been a very hot topic in the world of professional wrestling as of late because his WWE contract expired on March 1st.
The former WWE Superstar has been teasing his next move, and during a recent interview with PWInsider Matt opened up about his reasons for leaving the company.
Interestingly enough when Matt Hardy was asked why he would leave WWE instead of staying for the money, he indicated that he will be making more money outside of the company.
“The money is still going to be greater outside even with what I’m going to end up doing, especially with the collaboration of events I’m going to be doing, but the one thing I want to say is that I love this. I mean like the reason I got into this wasn’t to make $1 million. It’s because it was my dream and my passion and something I love. It’s like I know physically I feel very good now and I know what I’m capable of and I know how I have to be utilized in a certain way. It’s just I have to get into an environment where I can be utilized like that.
The reason I just walked away is like I know I can do more and with sometimes with WWE it’s a huge system. I have a great respect for it. It’s an enormous machines obviously all across the world, but if you are kind of in Vince’s mind in a certain role, that’s where he’s going to keep you and you can’t get out of it. I want to get into an environment where I can kind of excel and do other things.”
Matt Hardy has noted that he’s talking with various wrestling companies, including AEW, and that he plans to reveal his next move sooner than later.
