Matt Cardona says he took a pay cut to return to WWE, as he was earning more money on the independent scene.
βI made more money outside WWE than I ever made in WWE. I technically took a pay cut to go back to WWE. Thatβs how much money I was making on the indies. But WWE, going back, is the ultimate opportunity, because if it works out, itβll be the ultimate raise.β
