MVP was not at AEW All In 2026 because of changes to visa processes, according to Fightful Select. The report stated the situation is being worked on for the future.
His Hurt Syndicate stablemates Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin were in action on the Buy In pre-show, teaming with Big Boom AJ and QT Marshall to beat Shane Taylor Promotions.
Travellers from countries that do not require a visa to enter the United Kingdom, including the United States, must now apply for an Electronic Travel Authorisation. Under the published caseworker guidance, an application must be refused if the applicant “has been convicted of a criminal offence in the UK or overseas for which they have received a custodial or suspended sentence of 12 months or more.”
MVP served nine and a half years in prison for an armed robbery committed when he was 16. He told VICE in 2019 that he pleaded guilty to one count of armed robbery and 10 counts of armed kidnapping and was sentenced to 18 and a half years.
MVP told Chris Van Vliet that his conviction and the ETA requirement were the reason he missed AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2025, which also took place in London.
