That doesn't contradict what I said.
It was the expansion of space, matter and possibly even time itself.
Space and matter didn't exist outside the singularity, there was no 'outside' the singularity. At least according to the theory.
The article you're quoting even states this -

The space-time singularity associated with the big bang differs in two important ways from the singularity associated with a black hole. First of all, a black hole has an "outside." That is, we assume that at large distances from the black hole space-time is essentially flat and defines a background against which we observe the black hole. This is not true in the case of the big bang, because we are all participants.
