However, as time went on, he was making less creative decisions and Vince McMahon and his team were making all the decisions for his character. This, he revealed, led to the beginning of the Matt Hardy AEW chapter.
The day Matt Hardy was about to leave, he met with Triple H and the two started talking. While talking about Triple H, Matt Hardy said that if Triple H was running WWE, he would have stayed with the company.

“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,” said Matt Hardy.
