Per SRS and Fightful:
>I was offered 35 million dollars by the WWE to do a 3 month run, defeat Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania, and then to sign over all merchandise and likeness rights to the WWE. I told them no and thought that was that. A few days later HHH personally called me and tried to speak Bussin, but his pronunciation was very bad, so I asked in English if he had a translator. Then he gets someone, I don’t know who, who tells me that HHH was a huge fan and wanted to ensure my legacy was preserved forever. I said I already ensured that and said the money didn’t interest me. At this point, and this is in 2021 mind you, he asked if I was debuting in AEW. There was no travel then and I laughed and I believe this may have offended him. Then HHH said he was very sorry for the confusion and the offer was rescinded. I said I wasn’t going to take it anyway and he said he rescinded it before I could reject it. It was very odd but, knowing what I know now, I believe he was having health problems at the time.”
