This year’s Men’s Royal Rumble match saw not only the return of WWE Hall of Famer Edge, but also the return of former WWE Superstar MVP.
MVP was recently a guest on “After The Bell” and he talked about his WWE return at the Royal Rumble. MVP talked about the fact that he is now 46 years old and has reached the point in his career where he knows that retirement could be coming soon. MVP isn’t ready to leave the business completely though, as he expressed his interest in becoming a backstage producer for WWE.
“You know, I’m at that point in my career, [I’m] 46. And I’ve always said that my intentions were to retire around 45. I can still go, I’m still in great shape. I still wrestle just about every weekend. But I know it’s — the clock is ticking. So retirement is looming. And after such an exhilarating and amazing weekend at WWE, I still feel that I have a lot to offer.”
“However, I’m at a point in my career where I think I’m ready to start offering my talent behind the scenes or in another capacity.”
“So in the very near future — VERY near future — I see myself hanging up the boots and moving from in-ring competitor to behind the scenes producer, if you will. This is what I’m looking at, and I think that’s the best way to go for me.”
MVP noted that he has wrestled his final match on RAW the night after the Royal Rumble. However he could find his way back to WWE in another capacity.
