MVP gives update on his future with AEW
MVP will be in AEW for a while longer as The Hurt Syndicate member revealed that he recently signed an extension with the company.
Speaking to a gaming website, the 52-year-old said he will be in AEW for “quite a while” in his current role and possibly behind the scenes which is something he is hoping for. He didn’t say how many years he re-signed for or if he was previously under a one-year deal.
“I’m very happy where I’m at right now in my career at this stage to be able to continue to contribute to the business and make money with my friends and entertain at the level that we’re still able to maintain. I appreciate Tony Khan for giving me, Bobby (Lashley) and Shelton (Benjamin) an opportunity to get the team back together for a final run and the future looks bright,” he said.
MVP debuted at September 2024’s AEW Grand Slam which began the eventual reformation of the former WWE faction alongside Lashley and Benjamin. Benjamin said earlier this year that he signed a three-year deal while the length of Lashley’s deal is unknown.
