Reports suggest that MVP is now listed in the 'Alumni' section of WWE, and his latest run with the company ended last month after his contract expired. Let's take a look at the reason that MVP has opened up about why he has zero respect for WWE.
Former WWE star MVP explains why he has zero respect for Triple H
In a candid interview with BetIdeas, former WWE star and current AEW talent
, better known as MVP, didn't hold back his feelings to criticize WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque.
He made it clear that he has "zero respect" for him.
The reason why he has commented on
stemmed from his perception of how certain talents, notably Bobby Lashley, were utilized under Triple H's leadership.
He highlighted that despite Lashley's status as a two-time WWE Champion, he was assigned to mid-card matches after Levesque acquired the key executive position in WWE. The booking choices were called into question by MVP, and he urged fans to take note of those who filled the main roster's upper echelon at that time.

MVP has commented, 'Let's just say this, Bobby Lashley was a two-time WWE Champion, and after he took over, Lashley was reduced to the midcard. Bobby Lashley is a bankable, marketable guy. And he just got reduced to midcard, whatever. 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 further said, '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. I have my opinions, based on my personal experiences.'
MVP said that he will delve deeper into these issues on his upcoming podcast, "
Marking Out with MVP and Dwayne Swaezey.
" He added, 'And at some point on my podcast, I'll talk about it and I'll go in-depth about what my issues are with that man.

Theory and Waller formed the duo A-Town Down Under after Waller was drafted to SmackDown in April 2023.

I hope I'm wrong, but I wouldn't be surprised if they released Austin Theory by the end of the year 😭' 'I seriously doubt Austin Theory will be released. He is the future face of WWE.

Tejasswi Prakash open to going bald for a role: ‘People lately have been finding a way around it'
Actor Tejasswi Prakash is known for her long locks. However, the actor reveals she would be more than willing to shave her head for a role. Tejasswi shares that no one has approached her with such a request, as filmmakers have found creative workarounds rather than opting for an actual bald look. Tejasswi Prakash rose to fame with Swaragini – Jodein Rishton Ke Sur and Naagin 6. (Instagram) Tejasswi Prakash on going bald When we asked her if she would be open to going bald, Tejasswi said, 'I would do it.' 'I would go bald for a character if it requires. I'm very committed like that most of the time. I feel people lately have been finding a way around it… Like I'm doing something which is about transformation. But everyone in the industry has gone ahead and found so many more options for anything and everything, from making your hair colour look a certain way or making you look bald or making you look blonde. There are so many other solutions that nobody's really asked me to do it actually. But if ever I am asked, I would do it,' adds the actor, who rose to fame with her show Swaragini – Jodein Rishton Ke Sur. The actor is known for starring in shows such as Naagin 6, Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 10, Bigg Boss 15 and Celebrity MasterChef. With the transformation, Tejasswi was referring to her journey of losing some weight for her next project. On her haircare When it comes to Tejasswi's haircare routine, it is pretty basic, crediting the way she was brought up by her mom. She swears by 'champi' – a scalp massage. 'My hair care routine is pretty basic. Like how my mom brought me up, which includes champi. Lately, I have added quite a few steps to my hair care. Now, it is about doing like a proper hair wash and using a good hairmask for some 5-10 minutes and then applying a good serum,' shares the actor, adds the actor, who recently walked the ramp in Delhi as part of the hair show by Godrej Professional while unveiling The Surreal Collection. Like any other, Tejasswi isn't immune to bad hair days, but she's mastered the art of transforming them into another look with her styling skills. 'I do have bad hair days, mostly because I have straight hair. My bad hair days aren't about my hair being frizzy. It is when my hair is really flat with zero volume. In fact, my hair somehow gets oily after just one or two days of washing. Those for me are my bad hair days. And at that time, I just did a sleek hairstyle such as ponytail,' she ends.
