AEWs MVP stole the spotlight during the AEW Full Gear media scrum, not for his wrestling acumen, but for his no-nonsense attitude and fiery clapbacks at journalists daring to step up with questions. If theres one thing MVP made clear, its that hes not here for weak questions or credentials he doesnt respect.
The drama unfolded after Bobby Lashley, representing The Hurt Syndicate, defeated Swerve Strickland in a brutal match, forcing Swerve to pass out in The Hurt Lock. While Lashleys in-ring dominance was unquestionable, MVPs backstage mic skills took the cake as he tore into members of the press during the post-show scrum.
It all started when a journalist asked Lashley about his motivation. MVP didnt mince words, cutting off Lashley with: Bobby, thats a dumbass question, man. Dont answer that s***. His sharp tone sent shockwaves through the room as reporters braced themselves for what was coming next.
Things escalated when a journalist from The Believe Network attempted to ask a question. MVP immediately took control, grilling the reporter about their credentials. Do you have a journalism degree? From where? he demanded. After the reporter meekly revealed they graduated from Full Sail University, MVP allowed them to proceed, but not before making his disdain for pretenders crystal clear.
MVP wasnt done there. When a journalist from the Wrestling Observer tried to pose a question, MVP shut them down with ruthless efficiency, stating, No, we dont entertain any questions from that nerd.
This isnt the first time MVP has shown his disdain for what he sees as subpar journalism, but his unfiltered commentary during the AEW Full Gear scrum was next-level. MVPs unapologetic attitude has made him a cornerstone of The Hurt Syndicate, and his no-nonsense approach to media might just set a new standard for how scrums are handled.
