MVP isn’t holding back when it comes to comparing AEW’s Tony Khan and WWE’s Paul “Triple H” Levesque — and it’s clear where his loyalty stands.

During a recent interview on Q101’s wrestling segment, MVP was asked how creative is handled differently between the two companies. He didn’t mince words. According to MVP, Tony Khan creates a collaborative environment where talent feels empowered, while WWE under Triple H runs more like a dictatorship. MVP first acknowledged that Tony Khan does have his own vision — but he actually works with the wrestlers to build something together.

“Tony allows a lot more input and Tony is—you know, he has his vision that he wants and he works with the talent and allows a lot more input from the talent into what creative path is going to happen.”

He then threw major shade at Triple H without even using his name.

“Whereas the nose, he is a little bit more dictatorial—emphasis on dick. It’s ‘this is what we’re doing and this is how it’s going to be and this is what I want.’”

MVP said the difference is clear when you walk into each company’s locker room. WWE feels corporate and tense, while AEW is more relaxed and free-flowing.

“At WWE, it’s very, very tense. Very corporate. You got a lot of young talent that are walking on eggshells… a climate of fear. A lot of people worried about losing their job. That doesn’t exist in AEW.”

He even took it a step further, saying the comparison between the two men goes beyond just leadership style — it’s personal.

“I think Tony—I’m just going to be blunt—I think Tony is just a better human being, a better person all around than this guy.”

According to MVP, that’s what makes AEW such a healthy locker room. There’s no fear, no paranoia, and that changes everything for young talent.

“Tony doesn’t operate that way. He’s created a culture where it’s relaxed and fun. You’re not walking around scared of getting heat or getting fired. That helps psychologically.”

MVP made it clear he has zero regrets about jumping from WWE to AEW — and credits Tony Khan for not just creative freedom, but restoring the soul of what wrestling can be. If there was any doubt where MVP stood between the two, he erased it.
