Matt Cardona appeared on The Ariel Helwani Show, where he discussed several topics, including never receiving an offer from AEW in 2020.
Cardona said, “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.”
