The Gold Standard made his debut appearance a few weeks ago, revealing himself to be MVP's business partner. As of now, they are currently in the process of looking for people to join their faction. However, they have now had their fair share of run-ins with the likes of Swerve Strickland and Lio.
After a backstage confrontation with the former WWE Cruiserweight at WrestleDream last weekend, Tony Khan booked a singles match between the two.

Shelton Benjamin barely showed any ring rust as he was having his way for the majority of the match. Lio Rush fought back, using his speed to his advantage but it was all for naught.

In the end, Shelton Benjamin walked away with the win, proving just how dominant he can be in the ring, as the entire locker room may have just found a force to be reckoned with.
Post-match, MVP came in and left Lio with his business card, as he acknowledged his efforts in the ring tonight. It remains to be seen whether the veteran successfully finds clients anytime soon.

Enzo Curabo
Enzo is a Pro Wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda, reporting on AEW. He is currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Multimedia Studies, which influenced his decision of taking up sports writing professionally, and has been an avid fan of the athletic theater since childhood. He believes readers deserve authentic and unique content and aims to report in a manner which pro wrestling fans can easily relate to.
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.
