So according to Matt Riddle's wife, Matt got his much-anticipated contract offer from New Japan and fully intended on signing it. He had to first notify Gabe Sapolsky, and after that Triple H then called him pretty much immediately to offer him a deal.

EVOLVE are on good terms with WWE of course, so it's no real surprise that Gabe wanted to give them a heads up. But this does paint a picture that his signing was more about keeping him away from the expanding NJPW than it was genuine interest in Matt.

Just like with their rumored interest and Pentagon and Fenix, they already have more toys than they know what to do with but would rather keep them all than let anyone else have them.
