MVP has not appeared on WWE television since accompanying Omos in the 2024 Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal this past April. A media report has shed some light on the former United States Champion's contract status with the Stamford-based promotion.
The 50-year-old manager made headlines last month after he criticized WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H for not reuniting The Hurt Business when the opportunity presented itself.
Following his public outburst and prolonged absence from WWE TV, some fans wondered if the veteran was still contracted with the Sports Entertainment juggernaut. However, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select reported that the veteran was still ''under contract'' with WWE.
"For those asking about an update on MVP, he’s still under contract with WWE as of now," Sapp said.

Booker T. advises MVP regarding his comments on social media
One of the wrestling personalities who reacted to MVP's outburst on social media last month was Booker T.
During an edition of his Hall of Fame podcast, the NXT commentator urged the former United States Champion to settle his differences with Triple H behind closed doors.
"I just think that stuff like that needs to be handled behind closed doors. No matter who says stuff like that. I've said that many, many times about certain things, as far as business goes. Business is not something we handle over the internet. It's just not. Business is something we handle behind closed doors from a business perspective. That's just me. And I just, hopefully, that's where they end up at the end of the day," Booker said. [H/T: Wrestling Inc.]
It will be interesting to see if the former Hurt Business leader appears on WWE TV in the coming days.
