WWE has been on a hiring spree, as of late for the roles of backstage producers and it looks like MVP could be the latest one of them. WWE RAW of this week took place at the Toyota Arena in Ontario, California saw the former WWE United States Champion bring back The VIP Lounge to WWE TV. His guest on the show was Drew McIntyre, who was there to discuss his WrestleMania 36 championship match against WWE Champion Brock Lesnar.

This segment witnessed MVP trying to convince the Wrestlemania main eventer into hiring him as a business manager as Paul Heyman does for Brock Lesnar. MVP grabbed Drew’s arm and then ended up taking a Glasgow Kiss headbutt, followed by a Claymore kick. This was indeed a one-off appearance for the veteran superstar on TV. But the current reports suggest he might be backstage, regularly.

As per the updates from PWInsider.com, talks are going around WWE over the past few weeks suggesting that MVP could be hired to work as a Producer for the company. The negotiations between WWE and MVP continued on last night’s Raw, as well and might have come to fruition, although confirmations are yet to be made.
MVP left WWE in the year 2010 before coming back to WWE by participating in the 30-Man Royal Rumble match, last month. He entered the match at #12 only to be tossed out by Brock Lesnar, as the 11th elimination, after staying in the match for just 24 seconds. The following night he returned on Raw to digest a loss against Rey Mysterio which was his final match in the WWE.
MVP recently appeared on WWE’s “After The Bell” podcast with Corey Graves to reveal that he contacted RAW Executive Director Paul Heyman for that Royal Rumble spot as it took place in his hometown of Houston. MVP also expressed interest in working as a backstage Producer’s role for WWE,
“I’m at a point in my career where I think I’m ready to start offering my talents behind the scenes or in another capacity. In the very near future, I see myself hanging up the boots and moving from in-ring competitor to behind-the-scenes producer if you will. This is what I’m looking at, and I think that’s the way to go for me.”
