A beloved figure in the world of WWE is preparing to take a step back from the ring. MVP, a legend in the wrestling community, has announced that he will be leaving the company once his contract expires. The 50-year-old wrestler joined WWE in 2005 and officially made his debut the following year. After much speculation about himself and fellow wrestler Bobby Lashley, MVP has confirmed that he will be parting ways with the company in the near future.
In a surprise turn of events, MVP recently made an appearance at Josh Barnett's Bloodsport event. He confronted Barnett and boldly challenged him to a match at an upcoming event. During his speech, he made it clear that he will not be renewing his contract with WWE and that he is not ready to retire just yet. Barnett accepted the challenge, and the match is set to take place once MVP, whose real name is Montel Vontavious Porter, officially departs from WWE.
Last week, rumors began to circulate about MVP's future with the company. He added fuel to the fire by posting a photo of his wrestling boots and suitcase on social media. Alongside the image, he simply wrote, "Dusted these off..." His last match was in 2022, and he hasn't been seen on screen since accompanying Omos to the ring as his manager earlier this year.
Since his debut in 2006, MVP has had a successful career in WWE. He became a two-time United States Champion and even held a tag team title with Matt Hardy. He left the company in 2010 and went on to wrestle for New Japan Pro Wrestling, TNA Wrestling, and the independent scene before returning to WWE in 2020 at the Royal Rumble. This led to a full-time return to the company, where he formed the popular group, the Hurt Business, with Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, and Cedric Alexander.
Recently, MVP took to social media to reflect on his journey in WWE. He shared that he initially returned to the company so his son could see him wrestle in a WWE ring. But after receiving an offer to become a producer, he ended up staying and becoming a commentator for Main Event. He also mentioned being a part of nine segments in one episode of RAW and the success of the Hurt Business.
MVP has been vocal about his disappointment with WWE's decision to disband the Hurt Business. There are rumors that he and Lashley may reunite the group with Benjamin once they are free to work elsewhere. Only time will tell what the future holds for MVP, but one thing is for sure – he has had quite a ride during his time in WWE.
