''When it relates to IP it's real simple, there is a publisher who owns the property, there is a writer who gets credit and can monetize it, then there is the performers.

Impact are the owners."

WWE is not going to allow creations that got over someplace else to come in and rule their world. It's not going to happen. It didn't happen with the Bullet Club and it's not going to happen with Matt Hardy's Broken Universe. They are going to have to put their stamp of approval on it and have their creative input."

I'm making more money than I was with WWE. I've been in some unbelievable matchups. Two are coming up. I love WWE. Just currently there is no incentive. There are some things I would love to be a part of. I would love to be part of the Dusty tag team tournament. At the same time I don't think I'm playing a revenge song here. I don't think I'm ready to move out of the spot of where I'm at."
