3-time WWE champion reportedly signs with AEW

It has just been confirmed that after tonight, a WWE veteran has reportedly signed up with All Elite Wrestling following his appearance in confronting a popular AEW personality. This would be MVP.

Earlier tonight, he made a surprise appearance, interrupting Prince Nana's interview with Tony Schiavone. They were talking about Swerve Strickland's status following his match with Hangman Adam Page at All Out earlier this month.

MVP praised Swerve for having had arguably the best year of his career. He then talked about his recent failures and how he has not received retribution for any of them. He claimed that this was due to poor management from Nana. The three-time WWE champion then made a play, offering his services as a manager to Swerve.

Fightful Select has now reported that MVP has officially signed with AEW. There were rumors that The Hurt Business was in talks with the company, but so far, only MVP has been revealed to have signed the promotion.

Growing up, Enzo admired former world champions like AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, Bryan Danielson, Triple H, and Randy Orton for their finishing moves. As an adult, he started to appreciate their character work, as they juggled between heel and babyface gimmicks.

If allowed to produce one final storyline involving his idols, he would have Orton lock horns with John Cena, would be their one last big feud as both of them seem to be approaching the tail end of their careers.

Other than pro wrestling, Enzo enjoys keeping up with Basketball, Football, and Formula One. He also loves watching films, playing video games, and listening to music.
