AEW star MVP has again strongly criticized WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque. In a recent interview with BetIdeas, MVP stated he has “zero respect” for him, citing personal interactions and questioning his booking decisions since Triple H took over WWE creative in mid-2022.

These remarks came when MVP was asked about how Levesque views talent of color. MVP used former two-time WWE Champion Bobby Lashley as an example of his booking concerns.

“Let’s just say this, Bobby Lashley was a two-time WWE Champion, and after he took over, Bobby Lashley was reduced to the mid-card,” MVP said. “Bobby Lashley is a bankable, marketable guy. And two-time WWE Champion just got reduced to mid-card, whatever.”

MVP addressed WWE fans who might dismiss his views as mere complaining. “What I said, specifically in response to the person on my Instagram page, was that you see it. It’s my opinion of how he chooses to book certain talents,” he stated.

“Some people say all the time that, ‘oh MVP’s just griping, MVP’s just crying’. Okay, well just watch the program. Who were the people in the top spots under his leadership? Who were given the opportunities? And I’m not talking about NXT. I’m talking about the main show.”

Despite these pointed criticisms of booking, MVP, who departed WWE in August 2024 and is now part of AEW, clarified that his fundamental issues with Triple H are personal and not based on race. He has previously implied concerns about the booking of Black talent under Triple H but has also denied labeling him a racist.

“And I’ll be honest with you, my issues with him have nothing to do with race,” MVP asserted during the BetIdeas interview. “My issues have to do with him as a person and our personal interactions and things that he said and did that caused me to have zero respect for him.”

MVP, a former WWE United States Champion and architect of The Hurt Business, promised to elaborate on these personal issues in the future.

“I have my opinions, based on my personal experiences. And at some point on my podcast and my YouTube show, I’ll talk about it and I’ll go in depth about what my issues are with that man… But I’ll get into that on my show. Marking Out with MVP and Dwayne Swaezey.”
