MVP is set to return to wrestling next month, just not in AEW.
Shortly before his WWE departure earlier in the year, MVP put out a post on social media stating that he was going to dust off his boots and get back in the ring. Making good on his promise, the former United States Champion later made a shock appearance at Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport in Brooklyn and confronted The Warmaster.
Teasing a match at a future Bloodsport event, both men shook hands as Barnett agreed to a match “any time, any place.”
With MVP previously stating that he would face Barnett at the next Bloodsport event in New Jersey on November 24th, Barnett has since announced on social media that the match is official:
The long history of training and friendship was explained and also revealed as the source of the challenge laid down between MVP and the Warmaster at Bloodsport XI. Mutual respect and admiration was given, not freely, but earned through respecting the other’s strength. That desire to test one’s strength now decides that a match must happen. A match where limits will not be constrained and both wrestler’s will use all they have down to their very cores, because what is more valuable than he who shed his blood for his friend?

Matches that take place at Bloodsport see competitors fight in a ring with no ropes and no turnbuckles. Victory is obtained either via knockout or submission.
When Was MVP’s Last Match?
The former Tag Team Champion last competed in WWE back in July 2022, teaming with Omos in a losing effort to The Street Profits.
