During an interview with Denise Salcedo of Instinct Culture at the “Queen of the Ring” premiere, MVP and Shelton Benjamin commented on their time in AEW. MVP emphasized that they were accomplishing what they set out to do.
“We’ve been doing everything we said we wanted to do. We wanted to come over, we wanted to have have fun, work with some new talent. We know the clock is ticking, we’re at the tail end of our careers. We wanted to make some guys on the way out. So we are just beginning. We have plans. We’re gonna run these tag titles for a while, and then when we’re done with that, we’re gonna get some singles championships for Shelton and Bobby, and then when we’re done with that, we’re gonna make some new stars, and we’re gonna move on into the sunset,” MVP said.
“I really want to say, in all seriousness, a huge thank you to Tony Khan for giving us the opportunity to finish our story because everyone knows our story was ended abruptly with no rhyme or reason. So now we’re getting a chance to end our careers on our terms in a place where we’re valued, where we’re bringing value, and we’re getting to work and help younger talent on our way out the door. That feels so good. Tony Khan was cool enough to say, ‘No, no, I see the value in those guys,’ and he is gonna let us tell our story and end it the way we want to, and that’s a huge gift, so we’re very grateful for that,” MVP said.
