MVP Wanted To Become General Manager In WWE

MVP accepted a producer role in WWE prior to the pandemic. Then that job was no longer needed as they cut so many road producers. Thankfully, they found a place for him on television.

During After the Bell, MVP revealed that he never say himself as a producer, but he did see himself on commentary. He also wouldn’t mind becoming a General Manager. That is a role that he believes is well within his wheelhouse as well.

“I never really saw myself as a producer but there were times when I thought after my in-ring career perhaps I could go into being a commentator or coming back as a general manager. This role that I stepped into was nothing that I ever planned, nothing I ever dreamed about or thought about but it fits like a glove. Organic is the word I keep using because it’s so natural. I really like the role that I’m playing now.

“The age I am now, I recall when I started in WWE some of the guys that I worked with that were around my age at that time. Now I’m realistically a mentor to a lot of young guys, I didn’t even think about it that way, I’m just being me and paying it forward but other guys have mentioned it because I want to see everybody do better. It was cool when the OGs from my era taught me the business and gave me the game so now when I have the opportunity to work with a guy like Apollo Crews and help him improve, Cedric Alexander, Ali, a number of young guys ask me about advice. That’s the role I’m in now for real, it feels good, I’m comfortable with it.”

MVP did find a great spot alongside Bobby Lashley in the Hurt Business. The faction might have lost 1/2 of their members, but the duo of MVP and the WWE Champion is working well on a weekly basis.

WWE has a different way of looking at authority figures now, but MVP would make a really good GM if they decided to cast the part.
