Former WWE United States Champion MVP looked like he had the potential of being a top Superstar in WWE and a World Champion. However, this never happened, and he left the company without ever being a world champion. Recently, during an interview with Edge and Christian on their podcast, MVP revealed why WWE never made him a World Champion.
In case you didn’t know…
MVP had a criminal past before he was signed by WWE. During the early years of his life, he spent several months in a juvenile detention centre. He was arrested for armed robbery and kidnapping for which he was given an 18 and a half year sentence. He was released early after serving 9 and a half years in prison – a sentence he started at the age of 16.
As a result of his criminal past MVP is not able to freely travel internationally and is subject to background checks and permits. He had reformed himself in prison and converted to Islam.
The heart of the matter
According to MVP during his interview, he had found out that WWE management was considering giving him a run with the World Championship for a time. However, this never came about due to the fact that MVP had a criminal past which would not have allowed him to go to some countries where WWE toured.
While MVP understood WWE’s decision, he was still upset as his criminal past from so long ago was still haunting him.
What’s next?
MVP still wrestles on the Independent Scene regularly. He was a part of Ring of Honor’s shows recently.
