Matt Hardy reveals he could have stayed with WWE if Triple H was in charge instead of Vince McMahon after AEW debut
Matt Hardy has revealed he could have stayed with WWE if Triple H was in charge - not Vince McMahon.
The 45-year-old left the company for a third time in his career due to creative differences last month.
And he made a surprise debut for rival promotion AEW last week.
Hardy was used sparingly towards the end of his WWE run and was last seen on Raw being savagely attacked by Randy Orton last month.
McMahon runs WWE, with Triple H by his side, and nothing gets done without the chairman’s say-so.
Explaining his exit from WWE, Hardy told : “What a weird day, and it was like I’m very honest and open with everyone.
“I told everyone from Vince all the way down what I wanted and what I expected if I was going to stay around.
“Once we were on the same page, and I said, ‘okay, well, thank you guys very much, I’ll just go my own way’.
“Even days after I left, I talked to Triple H.
“It’s just like he was cool, and I feel like if Triple H would have been the guy that was solely in power, I would have probably had a much better opportunity of kind of getting to do what I wanted creatively, but it is what it is.”
