Former WWE United States Champion reacts as in-ring return after over 2 years is officially announced

Former WWE United States Champion MVP will return to the ring after two years. His return match is scheduled for next month. His last match took place on WWE's Flagship show Monday Night RAW in July 2022 where he and Omos suffered a loss against The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford).

Earlier this year, Montel Vontavious Porter confronted Josh Barnett at Bloodsport XI and challenged him to a singles match. The latter responded to his challenge and agreed to take him one-on-one at Bloodsport XII on November 24. MVP recently logged on to his official X (fka Twitter) account to react to the announcement about his first match in two years.

"I have always been a fan of Japanese wrestling & traditional submission grappling! Some of my 1st lessons in submission grappling came from the LEGEND, Josh Barnett. 11 years later, I'm a Brazilian jiu-jitsu blackbelt. Multi-time grappling champion. Time to test myself," he said.

Brody King on joining former WWE Superstar MVP's new stable in AEW

During an interview with Bill Apter of Sportskeeda Wrestling, Brody King was asked if he would like to join MVP's new stable in AEW. He stated that he's loyal to his The House of Black stable and would like to see The Franchise Playa join his faction instead.

"You never know what's down the line in pro wrestling. You never say never. I think right now my loyalties lie with the House of Black. And [in] the future, maybe MVP joins the House of Black. You never know," Brody King said.

MVP made his AEW debut at the Dynamite Grand Slam on September 25, 2024. He has formed a new faction with Shelton Benjamin called The Hurt Syndicate. It is said that The All Mighty Bobby Lashley will join the two stars after his imminent debut.
