MVP shares update following major in-ring appearance outside of WWE
MVP made a surprise appearance outside of WWE over the weekend and has followed it up with an update today on social media. The veteran was reportedly removed from the company's internal roster earlier this month.
Montel Vontavious Porter made an appearance at Game Changer Wrestling last night during Josh Barnett's Bloodsport XI. The former champion shared that he will not be returning to WWE and challenged Josh Barnett to a fight down the line.
Barnett accepted the legend's challenge but warned him that he could get hurt in Bloodsport. The 50-year-old took to his Instagram story following his surprise appearance and shared a photo with himself and Barnett. You can check out the post on his Instagram story by clicking here.
MVP served as the manager for Omos but the big man has not competed in a match in months. The Nigerian Giant last competed on the April 5 edition of WWE SmackDown, where he competed in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
Former WWE star warns MVP and Bobby Lashley about going to AEW
NWA star EC3 recently gave his opinion on whether Bobby Lashley and MVP should head to All Elite Wrestling once their WWE contracts expire.
On a recent episode of Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Outlaws show, EC3 discussed the possibility of The Hurt Business reuniting in another promotion. He warned against the faction going to AEW and criticized the promotion's booking.
"Should The Hurt Business form? Should MVP and Bobby [Lashley] be free to create their own creative thing and run hog-wild with it and take it all across the world? Absolutely, 100 percent. [...] Sure, they could go to AEW and guess what, some matches are gonna happen and their music is gonna play and they're gonna walk out and it's a big reaction, and the next week, they're already in a big blowoff match of a main event feud that could take six months to build and would've been really cool, but instead, they just throw it away and everything goes back to normal."
