When was MVP drafted at #1?

Just like previous years, several one-on-one matches between Superstars from rival brands took place on a 2009 episode of RAW to determine which show would be allowed to draft the next Superstar.

RAW’s Rey Mysterio, the #1 pick from 2008, defeated ECW’s Evan Bourne in the first match of the draft, meaning the red brand was able to recruit United States Champion MVP.

Later in the night, the other secondary title in WWE – the Intercontinental Championship – moved across to SmackDown when Rey Mysterio was drafted to the blue brand.

Where is MVP in 2019?

After making a one-off return to WWE on the 25th anniversary episode of RAW in January 2018, MVP has appeared for companies including Ring of Honor and Impact Wrestling in 2019, while he has also competed in matches for Alberto Del Rio’s new promotion, Nacion Lucha Libre.

The former United States Champion told Chris Van Vliet in a 2018 interview that he will only return to WWE when CM Punk does the same – implying that it will never happen – but neither of those returns are too far-fetched when you look at the rest of the wrestling landscape in 2019!
