MVP is currently part of WWE's main roster as Bobby Lashley's manager. The former United States Champion made his return to the company as part of the 2020 Royal Rumble match.

It's hard to believe that MVP had been away from the company for a decade before making his return, since the star himself requested his release in December 2010.

His release was granted and his final match aired the following night on SmackDown, where he teamed with Kaval against Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler. After their defeat, Kaval and MVP were attacked by Kane.
