MVP is a WWE veteran who came back in 2020 after almost a decade away. His first major championship win in the company happened back in 2007, when he defeated Chris Benoit in an incredible 2-out-of-3 falls match to capture the United States Championship. MVP recently revealed that someone informed him that he would win the title.
He disclosed that back in 2007, it was Lashley who told him that he would win the United States title:
“We’ve been friends for a really long time. Bobby [Lashley] was the one who told me I would win the United States Championship. We bet a steak dinner on it because I didn’t believe it at the time and I was never so happy to buy someone dinner.”
He further added “And then over the years, Bobby and I stayed in touch. We were in Japan together. We were over at another company for a while [Impact Wrestling] where we had a really good pairing and really good chemistry. So when I came back to WWE and they put us together, it was a very organic relationship that transferred to the screen.”
