As noted before, MVP had been rumored this past August to have a dislike of “Speedball” Mike Bailey backstage in AEW over unknown reasons. MVP and Bailey responded afterwards in a friendly joking manner about their rumored backstage issues teasing that the rumors were not true.
A recent episode of the Marking Out with MVP and Dwayne Swayze podcast featured co-host MVP addressing and refuting the rumors of him having any backstage heat with Bailey in AEW.
“At no point did I ever say that I dislike ‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey. I don’t have an issue with Speedball. We work together, we see each other, we shake hands and we keep it moving. Like, there’s no issue there.
I don’t have any problems with any of the talent that I work with at AEW. Mike Bailey is one of the nicest guys around. I don’t have a problem with him.”
MVP also gave his thoughts about his belief that there are not any significant issues among any of the talent in the AEW locker room.
“And to be honest, as far as I know, amongst talent at AEW, I think everybody pretty much gets along amongst the talent. I mean, yeah, you’re always going to have professional disagreements. And everybody’s, you know, jockeying for a position. Everybody wants to be the top guy. So, yeah, you’re going to have rifts and you’re going to have issues.
But for the most part, I don’t know of anybody in the AEW locker room that has, like, legitimate beef with anybody.”
