MVP\'s tenure with WWE came to an end earlier this year and the Hurt Business alum has made clear he doesn\'t plan on going back. While the former United States Champion is no longer a part of WWE\'s roster, he is not ready to retire just yet.
On Instagram, MVP shared a video of his first bump in \"a long time\" with Shelton Benjamin giving feedback from behind the camera. In the caption, MVP admitted that his days in the ring are numbered but he\'s not finished wrestling.
The Ronin of professional wrestling has returned! I literally hit the ring yesterday!!! 1st bump in a while. A few more weeks of training and a bit of @justformen and I\'ll be ready!!! My official in ring retirement is near. But, it\'s not here yet!!!!
MVP returned to WWE in 2020, originally as a producer, but transitioned into an on-screen managerial role shortly after. Though he remained at ringside for the vast majority of his four-year run with the company, MVP competed 44 times and rocked up a 16-28 win/loss record. Earlier this year, MVP underwent Stem Cell Therapy which he hopes will extend his in-ring career.
What\'s To Come?
MVP\'s first post-WWE match will come this November when he takes on Josh Barnett at Bloodsport XII at the White Eagle Hall in Jersey City, New Jersey. The 50-year-old confronted MVP at Bloodsport XI earlier this year, setting up a fight between the two.
