Tony Khan says former WWE star MVP has one of wrestling’s best minds.
MVP joined AEW last year and reunited with Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin to form the Hurt Syndicate. The faction has quickly made an impact, dominating the roster and continuing the success they had as the Hurt Business in WWE. Lashley and Benjamin held the tag team titles for seven months, showing their dominance.
In a recent interview with Jim Varsallone, Tony Khan called MVP an outstanding mind and noted that the former WWE star has has become a key voice in AEW. He said, “MVP is an outstanding pro wrestling mind. He’s come in and become a top voice in AEW. Bobby Lashley is still undefeated and unpinned in the ring.”
“He is an outstanding star. Shelton Benjamin has come into AEW and been one of the top athletes and somebody that has not only turned back the clock but established themselves as one of the premier bell-to-bell wrestlers to this day after decades in the sport.”
“When you have two top athletes like Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin. They’ve held the world Tag Team Championships together, they’ve been singles stars. And now MVP is stepping in the ring and wrestling for us, which has been great.”
“Having such a great group in AEW, for me, MVP has to be out there with some of the smartest people and best minds. He’s had a great career in the ring as a wrestler. He has great experience, which helps him as one of the top coaches and managers in pro wrestling today. He has a very inspirational story outside of the ring, which only enhances his knowledge and legacy. I love working with MVP. He’s tremendous and the kind of great person we want in AEW.” [H/T: Fightful]
