As we previously reported here on eWn, Matt Cardona recently spoke with Ariel Helwani to discuss his appearances with All Elite Wrestling.
During the interview, Cardona speculated on why he never received a contract offer from Tony Khan.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On never receiving an offer from AEW in 2020: “In the very beginning I came in, I helped Cody [Rhodes]. We had a tag match which we won; a pay-per-view match. I had like three shirts, two matches. Never got a call. I don’t know. To this day I don’t know. I was told the contract’s coming. After a while I’m like, ‘It’s not coming,’ and I went to (TNA Wrestling).”
On if AEW’s contract offer got lost in the mail after his match with Jericho: “We do the weeks of TV, getting great reactions in-house, social media, best-selling shirt of the week, killer match at Hammerstein Ballroom.. nothing. Maybe it got lost in the mail, I don’t know. I loved my time there, even this past time in December, I love it there. I think it’s a great company. I think it’s great for the business. I think everybody is working their ass off there but everything has to be the right situation, but I wasn’t offered anything.”
