“I have an AEW contract sitting in front of me for a few years,” Matt said. “I’m looking through it. I’m deciding what I want to do going forward. There’s obviously still some options. I gotta make sure that I’m aware of the ins and outs of the contract. I want to make sure everything is up to par as far as what I want to be because once again, as I say pretty often, I know that I only have a couple more years left doing this and I want to make the most out of those years, whatever it may be. I want to be optimized in whatever I am doing. That’s very important to me. I’m very happy to be invited to return to AEW and work for AEW for the foreseeable future, but we shall see because right now, I’m just going to be weighing out the options. There’s a couple of things out there. I would say in the next month, I should probably know what the immediate future is gonna hold.”

“Legacy is very important to me knowing there’s only a couple years left of doing this. The schedule is very important to me because I want to spend as much time as I can with my family. That is very important. If I am working with Jeff, it is very important to me that the Hardys are optimized. It’s very important that the Hardys go out on a strong note. That’s what’s important to me.”
