In-Ring Segment: MVP
MVP welcomes everyone to the VIP Lounge and says it’s a privilege for anyone to be on the show. He introduces the man who may be his next client, the WWE United States Champion, Apollo Crews. MVP says he gained a lot of respect for Crews when he beat him in the ring. But he says Crews was reckless when he got hurt, so he needs someone to help him navigate bad decisions. MVP says the United States Championship is his ticket to success. Crews says he’s gotten this far without MVP’s help so, while he appreciates the offer, his answer is still no.
