Folks, wrestling’s drama never sleeps—and it’s got an espresso shot of chaos thanks to MVP. After his surprise appearance on AEW Dynamite, the former WWE mastermind behind the Hurt Business decided to spill the tea (or should I say, the coffee) on AEW’s “bad business.” And who’s his target? None other than Prince Nana, who he blames for Swerve Strickland’s recent streak of misfortunes.
Let’s recap. Swerve Strickland has had a rough couple of weeks—losing the AEW World Title to Bryan Danielson at All In, watching his house go up in flames, and then taking a brutal L from “Hangman” Adam Page. Meanwhile, Nana’s been busy… promoting his own coffee business. Yes, that’s right. National Coffee Day had Nana hyping up lattes while Swerve’s been left nursing wounds from a Steel Cage Match. Priorities, right?
Well, MVP wasn’t having it. Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter for those still adjusting to Elon Musk’s renaming spree), MVP tore into Prince Nana, calling his managerial skills “BAD business.” He said what we were all thinking: “Swerve deserves better.” And if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s that when MVP says bad business, he’s probably planning a hostile takeover.
Now, the rumor mill is churning with whispers that MVP might be stepping into Nana’s shoes as Swerve’s new manager. Could he bring some of that Hurt Business magic to AEW? It wouldn’t be surprising, especially since reports have been flying about MVP’s former partners, Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin, being in contract talks with AEW. Add to that MVP’s teasing of their possible AEW debuts during his Dynamite promo, and this story’s shaping up to be a full-blown invasion of Hurt Business alumni. Nana might want to watch his back—and his coffee business.
Speaking of businesses, MVP’s WWE chapter has officially closed. After running things with Omos (who’s been mysteriously absent from TV in 2024), MVP confirmed he was leaving WWE at Josh Barnett’s “Bloodsport XI” and challenged Barnett to a match this November at Bloodsport XII. Oh yes, MVP is stepping back into the ring for the first time since 2022, and we all know when he gets between those ropes, things get serious.
So, what’s next? Will MVP and his Hurt Business pals be taking over AEW, or will Prince Nana’s coffee empire survive the storm? One thing’s for sure—Swerve deserves better, and MVP’s about to give it to him.
