In a response to a recent episode of Figthful’s The Hump podcast about Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp saying he doesn’t know the exact reason for The Hurt Syndicate’s abscesses from AEW television and how there has been talk within AEW about situations of them not wanting to put over others, MVP responded stating:

“This is a blatant lie! ABSOLUTELY UNTRUE!!!!! Who is your source????”

In response to a user who claimed that a Swerve Strickland vs. Bobby Lashley rematch wasn’t happening due to “creative differences” and implying it was due to MVP and The Hurt Syndicate having backstage heat, MVP responded stating:

“Rumor? Nah man. You are absolutely Wrong!!!! None of this is true. But now I know where this whisper campaign is coming from! 😉”

The Hurt Syndicate last wrestled in AEW at this past August’s All In 2026 Buy-In pre-show in an Eight-Man tag team match with Boom & Doom (Big Boom AJ & QT Marshall) against Shane Taylor Promotions, which was won by The Hurt Syndicate and Boom & Doom.
