9 WWE Superstars who you may not know have competed in other sports

#5 Montel Vontavious Porter (MVP) is a gold medalist outside WWE

MVP has been one of the best entertainers on WWE RAW for some time now. Partnering with him has helped Bobby Lashley unlock his full potential and become the WWE Champion.

MVP is still phenomenal in the ring himself and could give fans some great matches before hanging up his boots. Not only is MVP good in the wrestling ring, but he is also great at Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Apart from his accomplishments in wrestling, MVP has won The World Master Jiu-Jitsu IBJJF Championship 2019 in the Masters 4/Male/Purple/Ultra-Heavy Category. That’s not all, as MVP won a gold medal in the IBJJF Masters tournament in 2020 as well.

He took to Twitter to explain the gold medal he’d been holding during a photoshoot with his then-Hurt Business partners:

“For the people that have been asking what medal I'm holding in this photo, let me inform you. On Saturday I won a Brazilian jiu-jitsu world championship competing in the IBJJF Masters tournament. The Hurt Business had an eventful weekend! Now you know."

The WWE Superstar helped the company carry on RAW during the pandemic era and put together a great faction known as The Hurt Business. Since then, MVP has helped several superstars get a lot more screen time and pick up a few crucial victories.
