MVP said AEW owner Tony Khan has built a "relaxed" culture driven by genuine passion for wrestling, calling it refreshing to work for a boss who cares about talent and the art form.
Nearly 2 years after MVP's September 2024 debut, he said his experience across multiple promotions now helps younger AEW wrestlers learn television and contribute to the company's growth.
Shelton Benjamin, 50, and Bobby Lashley, who turns 50 in July, remain capable of "virtually anything," MVP said, arguing both veterans still perform at an elite level.
The Hurt Syndicate's next major test comes Sunday at Double or Nothing in New York, where Benjamin and Lashley join a 4-on-4 Stadium Stampede match that MVP summed up as "chaos and violence."
