>The nature of this firing, because it was not a contract buyout, which is what I think he had hoped for... This cost him many millions of dollars. But also, he can go to WWE. But when he wanted to go, about 10 months ago, they turned him down. Thinking he could get out of his contract and get a buyout to go there, they made the decision not to use him then. Before he came to AEW, when Fox was pressuring Vince to sign him, Vince said they'll sign anyone but him. But there's different people in charge now.
