Vince McMahon and The Undertaker share a special bond

#3 MVP

MVP is currently active on WWE RAW and is aligned with Bobby Lashley

WWE veteran MVP is doing well for himself on RAW currently. He made his return at this year's Royal Rumble match and is currently aligned with Bobby Lashley on the Red brand. MVP was a strong mid-card act in WWE, back in 2005-10. MVP has stated several times how Vince McMahon gave him an opportunity despite him having a shady background.

“Society wouldn’t give me an opportunity to make minimum wage, Vince McMahon said. ‘Yeah, you did some bad things, but everybody here gets an opportunity. You’ve earned an opportunity.’”

MVP spent nine and a half years in jail for the crimes of kidnapping and armed robbery, before his WWE stint. He made a name for himself while in WWE and is a former Tag Team Champion as well as United States Champion. At a time where almost every potential employer would have stayed away from MVP because of his past, Vince McMahon gave him a chance and he didn't disappoint the boss one bit.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
