MVP returned to WWE at Royal Rumble 2020 pay-per-view and later he faced Rey Mysterio on WWE Raw, in which he lost. Then, he accepted the role of producer in WWE but they cut him due pandemic. Later, he got the big on-screen role in WWE.
The former United States Champion MVP recently appeared as special guest on WWE’s After The Bell podcast and discussed about several topics. During the interview, MVP stated that he didn’t saw himsas producer after his in-ring career.
But he thought that he would go into commentator to General Manager role but now, he got a role that he never planned and that fits him like a glove. Here what MVP said:
“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.” (H/T: WrestlingInc)
