The MVP has continued his ongoing conflict with Triple H. Since leaving WWE in August 2024, the former WWE star has been vocal about his criticism of the company’s new creative head. While he suggests that the current talent landscape in WWE has shifted, some wrestling veterans have pushed back against his claims that WWE executives show racial bias.
In a recent interview with BET Ideas, the AEW star was questioned again about his feud with Triple H. He was specifically asked to elaborate on his comments about how WWE Hall of Famers view talent of color. The 51-year-old responded by urging people to examine the current state of WWE programming to fully grasp his point.
He said, "Bobby Rushley was a two-time WWE champion, but after Triple H took over, Rushley was relegated to the midcard despite being a bankable and marketable star. What I’m saying is evident if you take a look at my Instagram page. In my opinion, Triple H tends to favor specific talent. Many dismiss my views, saying ‘MVP’s just complaining,’ but I ask you to look at who the top talents have been under his leadership and who has been given opportunities."
MVP emphasized that his issues with Triple H are not rooted in race but stem from their personal interactions and lack of respect shown to him by Triple H. He also promised to discuss the broader problems with WWE’s Chief Content Officer in greater detail one day.
Additionally, the Heart Syndicate star shared his thoughts on a Wrestling Mount Rushmore, naming wrestlers he believes deserve a spot. While some name Hulk Hogan, MVP has excluded him from consideration due to his controversial persona.
Fan Take: This feud highlights the ongoing tension between AEW and WWE’s leadership, which keeps the wrestling world buzzing. For AEW fans, MVP’s candid remarks signal deeper conversations about talent representation and creative freedom that could potentially influence the future direction of professional wrestling.
