Former champion seemingly confirms WWE exit amid release rumors

An absent WWE star has shared an interesting message following a recent report of him being removed from the promotion's internal roster. The former champion has not competed in a match since July 2022 and has not appeared on television since the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, earlier this year.

MVP has reportedly been removed from the promotion's internal roster today. The 50-year-old was last seen as Omos' manager but The Nigerian Giant hasn't wrestled a match in months. Following reports of MVP being removed from WWE's internal roster, he took to social media to share an interesting message. He posted a salute emoji, seemingly confirming that he is no longer on the roster.

Montel Vontavious Porter recently vented his frustration on social media about Triple H not wanting to reunite The Hurt Business. The faction was popular amongst wrestling fans but was disbanded in 2022. It has also been reported that former group member, Bobby Lashley has been removed from the internal roster as well.

MVP reveals popular WWE stars were considered for The Hurt Business

MVP recently shared that both Bianca Belair and Naomi were discussed as potential members of The Hurt Business faction.

Belair and Jade Cargill were the reigning Women's Tag Team Champions before they were dethroned by The Unholy Union (Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn) at Clash at the Castle: Scotland. Naomi walked out of WWE in 2022 but returned earlier this year during the Women's Royal Rumble Match.

A wrestling fan asked MVP on social media if The EST was ever considered for a spot in the group and he confirmed that she was. He shared that he had discussions with Shelton Benjamin and Bobby Lashley about Bianca and Naomi joining the faction but the company had other plans for both stars.

"Me, Bobby and Shelton discussed both Trinity and Bianca as an addition. But they had other plans for both of them," he wrote.

Shelton Benjamin recently opened up about the company's decision to disband The Hurt Business and shared that Vince McMahon thought they had gone as far as they could with the faction. It will be interesting to see what lies ahead for MVP moving forward.
