According to an official statement given through Twitter on July 18, TNA Wrestling has officially released MVP from his contract. It is believed that his release comes off of the heels of the legal dispute between TNA and Lucha Underground over superstar Hernandez.
According to PWInsider.com, MVP was the one brokering the deal between TNA and Hernandez, telling the company that they should go after him and use him in the Beat Down Crew on “IMPACT WRESTLING.” However, while MVP and Hernandez were saying that his Lucha Underground contract was up, it was in fact still in place, hindering him from legally working for TNA Wrestling at the moment.
This news came after TNA had already taped multiple segments for television including B.D.C. and Hernandez, which are now having to be edited out and replaced with old matches or other filler segments. MVP went to Twitter to give the official statement about his departure, saying,
“Official statement: MVP and TNA have elected to go their separate ways. I wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors.
The year and a half I spent at TNA was fun. I’ll miss “the boys” (and girls). Great locker room. Full of passion and talent. True PROS!”
TNA’s John Gaburick would go on to also issue a similar statement, saying,
“TNA @IMPACTWRESTLING and MVP (@The305MVP) have mutually agreed to part ways.
We wish him the best in the future.”
