In 2022, MVP turned his back on Bobby Lashley and aligned with Omos. The rising star's career trajectory changed when Porter became his mouthpiece on Monday Night RAW.
After a few successful wins, The Nigerian Giant was reduced to special appearances at premium live events and shows. The new regime used Omos and MVP as a special attraction for shows.
Earlier this year, it was reported Bobby Lashley and MVP are leaving the company once their contracts expire. Earlier this week, both stars were moved to the alumni section. Speaking on Unlikely with Adrian Hernandez, The Nigerian Giant addressed his manager's exit from the Stamford-based promotion. Omos had nothing but gratitude for the star.
"I've spent the most time with him [MVP] on the road [...] We drove everywhere, three, four hours, you name it. It was him and I, hip to hip, so I'm definitely gonna miss him. I think it was time. I think our time that we spent together, I was able to learn a lot from him." [From 03:06 – 03:25]
