#4. Current WWE Superstar MVP requested his WWE release in 2010

MVP made his return to WWE at The Royal Rumble last year and has since been able to find a permanent role at the side of Bobby Lashley.

The former United States Champion has slotted in well with The All Mighty since his return and has worked well as a manager.

The Playmaker was once an active talent on WWE's roster ahead of his release in 2010, where he originally made a name for himself. Unlike many WWE stars at the time, it was MVP who actually asked for his release from the company more than a decade ago, later revealing that he wasn't fired:

"No need for alarm," MVP wrote. "I did not get fired. I asked for and received my release. I felt it was time to go international and freshen things up.They're not screwing me this time. They're actually doing right by me. They've honored my request."

The former champion was then able to wrestle for several other companies including NJPW and IMPACT before opting to make his return to WWE in 2020.
