MVP says he came back to WWE so his son could see him wrestle in a WWE ring.
MVP returned to WWE at WWE Royal Rumble 2020. After competing in the Men’s Royal Rumble, he joined the company as a producer and a commentator. He then had a prominent run on-screen as he was paired with Bobby Lashley. They went on to form The Hurt Business.
MVP later aligned with Omos. He has been absent from WWE programming in months, and he has not wrestled since July 2022.
In a post on Instagram, MVP reflected on his return run:
“I came back so my baby boy could see “Daddy” in a WWE ring. “The Royal Rumble.” That’s all I wanted. A one off. I was ready to retire. Then, I received an offer to become a producer. The pandemic hit. I became a producer AND a commentator for Main Event.
“Next, they asked me to put the boots on and help out with TV during the “PC Era”. One episode of RAW, “MVP” was in NINE segments! Heyman agreed to put me and Roberto together. I signed a full time talent contract. And then we made history. What a ride!!!!”
MVP’s post came in the aftermath of multiple reports that he is not expected back in WWE, per Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful (via Fightful Select). Mike Johnson of PWInsider reported that his deal is up in mid-August.
