3 Names AEW Star MVP Reportedly Has Heat With

AEW star MVP is the manager of The Hurt Syndicate. Apart from him, this faction consists of former WWE stars Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin and former AEW World Champion MJF. Lashley and Benjamin are the reigning AEW World Tag Team Champions, and their reign has been dominant.

MVP is a veteran in the world of professional wrestling. He was once a popular name in WWE. In the Stamford-based company, he held the WWE United States Championship twice and the WWE Tag Team Championship once. He is well known among fans. However, over the years, there have been reports of him having heat with a few popular names.

Let us take a look at three names Montel Vontavious Porter reportedly has heat with:

---

#3. AEW star "Speedball" Mike Bailey

"Speedball" Mike Bailey made his All Elite Wrestling debut earlier this year. He is currently in an alliance with Kevin Knight. Collectively known as JetSpeed, they are one of the most promising tag teams in the company. Interestingly, a recent Fightful report suggests that MVP has heat with the former TNA X Division Champion.

According to the report, The Hurt Syndicate manager dislikes Bailey. The reason for this animosity is unknown. However, he is simply not okay with the idea of his faction dropping the World Tag Team Title to JetSpeed. However, the report also stated that many stars have dismissed this rumor.

#2. Chris Jericho

Former AEW World Champion Chris Jericho is currently away from the Tony Khan-led promotion, and it is not clear when or if he will return to the company. Interestingly, several reports have previously suggested that MVP and Y2J once had immense heat. The Hurt Syndicate manager reportedly punched Jericho during Rock N' Wrestling Rager At Sea—Part Deux: Second Wave in January 2020.

Former WWE personality Jim Cornette even spoke about this on his Drive Thru podcast. However, he didn't mention Porter.

"Man, there is a story I would love to tell, but I didn't get permission [sic], but him getting knocked out on his own cruise ship by someone he mouthed off to. It's the most incredible f*****g story, but I can't talk about that today," he said. [H/T: Cultaholic Wrestling]

The two stars reportedly had a verbal altercation again in 2022. However, they eventually squashed their beef. The AEW stars were regularly seen interacting backstage before Jericho's hiatus.

#1. MVP does not respect Triple H

MVP has made it clear in several instances that he dislikes and does not respect WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H. He has previously blamed the 14-time World Champion for turning a massive star like Bobby Lashley into a midcard act.

However, in a recent interview with BetIdeas.com, the veteran confirmed that his issues with The King of Kings are not race-related.

"I have my opinions based on my personal experiences. And at some point on my podcast and my YouTube show, I’ll talk about it. I’ll go in depth about what my issues are with that man. And I’ll be honest with you, my issues with him have nothing to do with race," he said.

Hopefully, fans will get to learn more about this conflict someday. There is also a possibility that they may squash their beef in the future.
