When is mvp returning to wwe

Given MVP's veteran experience, he was initially brought back as an on-air talent and backstage producer. However, with the lay-offs in WWE that started in April due to budget cuts, MVP was relieved from his role as a producer and offered a full-time return as an on-screen talent.

He revealed how he got roped into both roles:. Ultimately, the on-screen role was a good one for him and resulted in Bobby Lashley beginning the best run of his career. Billy Gunn really doesn't want a WWE vs. AEW war New User posted their first comment.

Coming back now, I understand what Vince wants and how he wants it. And Vince is a perfectionist. Good enough is not good enough for Vince. His influence has been huge. Those are things I learned from Vince.

JB : In addition to spotlighting the work of Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin, this run has allowed you to extend your in-ring career. You know how to recognize a special talent. Is Apollo Crews destined for stardom? What makes his work so special? MVP : Apollo Crews is a gifted athlete.

I met him years ago on the independent scene in the U. If Apollo Crews asks you for feedback, he genuinely wants it to get better. And if you do point something out to him, you only have to do it once, because, by the next time, the adjustment has been made. Apollo Crews has all the tools to be the next big star. Firsthand, I see how coachable he is, how humble he is, and how hungry he is, three qualities you need to be a star in this industry. JB : Are there two more underrated, explosive, or dynamic talents in wrestling than Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin?

MVP : No, no, no, no. No, there are not. I know both sides of that coin. I think Shelton Benjamin is, without question, one of the most explosive, dynamic, exciting individuals ever to grace a WWE ring. And underrated applies to him very well. Timing is everything. The whole COVID era has been difficult without having arenas with the fans, but everyone has put their nose to the grindstone to still put out a product that makes fans smile. Those guys are really in a position now to show what, maybe, some people forgot they were capable of doing.

MVP : Bobby is the prototype. Lashley is probably the only one. And to that point, I like what The Hurt Business is doing and yes, Lashley and Shelton should both have titles, no question. JB : Like Lashley, Shelton Benjamin also has the presence, charisma, experience, and ability to represent the company as its top champion.

Knowing him so well, what excites you most about advocating for Benjamin? I know personally that Shelton Benjamin has a lot to prove. He feels that maybe some people have forgotten how explosive and dynamic and special an athlete he is.

Shelton Benjamin is more than a guy flying off a ladder at WrestleMania. Shelton Benjamin is one of the greatest athletes ever to pass through the gates of the WWE, and I know that he wants everybody to remember why he is so great. I look forward to being with him every step of the way as he makes everybody remember who and what Shelton Benjamin is all about. JB : If done correctly, there is endless potential for Raw Underground, which you, Lashley, and Benjamin dominated last week.

Raw would have an unforgettable moment, even without a crowd, amidst the pandemic, if Brock Lesnar showed up on Raw Underground for a face-off with Lashley. What needs to be done for Raw Underground to be a successful part of the show every week? I think people will enjoy that. It will time take time for people to get used to it in the setting of Monday Night Raw , but I think it provides a pretty cool contrast.

JB : What comes next for you?
