10 Biggest Unsung Heroes Of WWE's Current Era
10. MVP
MVP wasn’t supposed to be back for a full-time run. He was very open on his Instagram that his Royal Rumble appearance and subsequent Raw match with Rey Mysterio was it for him, a way to show his son that his dad could wrestle and be a larger than life superstar against his favourite WWE performer. But like numerous other times throughout his career, MVP was just too good to be denied.
The VIP Lounge segments before the pandemic hit America were entertaining, particularly in how they gave Drew McIntyre opportunity to express more of his personality leading up to WrestleMania 36. MVP is one of the best talkers in wrestling and filled the role of getting a top contender over beautifully.
But since WWE’s been without crowds, MVP has stepped up his game, working occasional matches with Apollo Crews and forming The Hurt Business with Shelton Benjamin, Bobby Lashley and eventually Cedric Alexander. The Hurt Business are an electrifying stable, a highlight of Raw every week, and wouldn’t function without MVP’s scintillating presence and promos.
Years after his physical peak, MVP has become an essential part of WWE once again and all of us are lucky to have him back.
