Back in the summer of 2024, MVP drew attention on Instagram after responding to a fan comment, revealing that Triple H had rejected the idea of reuniting The Hurt Business.
Later that year, MVP clarified his remarks, emphasizing that he never accused Triple H of being racist.
In a recent interview with BetIdeas.com, MVP was once again asked to weigh in on Triple H and how he believes the WWE executive views talent of color.
“Let’s just say this, Bobby Lashley was a two-time WWE Champion, and after he took over, Bobby Lashley was reduced to the mid-card,” MVP said. “Bobby Lashley is a bankable, marketable guy. And two time WWE Champion just got reduced to mid card, whatever. What I said, specifically in response to the person on my Instagram page, was that you see it. It’s my opinion of how he chooses to book certain talents. Some people say all the time that, ‘oh MVP’s just griping, MVP’s just crying’. Okay, well just watch the program. Who were the people in the top spots under his leadership? Who were given the opportunities? And I’m not talking about NXT. I’m talking about the main show. 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 and I’ll go in depth about what my issues are with that man.”
MVP went on to stress that his grievances with Triple H are not rooted in race.
“And I’ll be honest with you, my issues with him have nothing to do with race,” he continued. “My issues have to do with him as a person and our personal interactions and things that he said and did that caused me to have zero respect for him. But I’ll get into that on my show. Marking Out with MVP and Dwayne Swaezey.”
