MVP recently returned to WWE at this year's Royal Rumble and has quickly become one of the most integral parts of Monday Night RAW. The Ballin' Superstar had been away from WWE for multiple years working for promotions such as Impact Wrestling.

Interestingly, MVP was initially brought back for the role of a backstage producer but is now being used as an on-screen talent and active Superstar. Not only is MVP the mouthpiece and manager of Bobby Lashley, but is still competing inside the WWE ring.

While speaking to Lillian Garcia on her podcast Chasing Glory, MVP talked about how he is grateful to Vince McMahon and WWE for giving him a chance that society would not.

When I got to the WWE, I was given an opportunity that society wouldn’t give me. 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.’ He gave me an opportunity to become an internationally known professional wrestling superstar.” said MVP “With that came social redemption.” (H/T: Sescoops)
