The former two-time WWE United States Champion hasn’t been seen wrestling in matches for a long time now.
MVP was the guest on this week’s Wrestling with Freddie podcast from iHeart Media’s My Cultra Network. Freddie Prinze Jr. welcomed the Hurt Business member on the show.
MVP hasn’t been wrestling since he endured a torn meniscus. He had to go under the knife in September last year. The 48-year-old gave an update about his injury status and a comeback to in-ring competition.
“I’m doing well, man,” MVP stated. “I’m actually in my hotel room in Orlando right now, going through my physical – I guess, physical assessment, to get cleared to get back in the ring because, you know, I had that knee injury for a while. It’s all healed up, so now it’s just a matter of me jumping through their hoops to make sure that I’m physically capable of performing in the ring. So, I’m feeling good, man.“
“The knee injury, the torn meniscus is completely healed, and now it’s just a matter of rebuilding the strength in the leg from my atrophy muscle. My teardrop is gone, non-existent. I’m building that back up, and my cardio, my cardio is much better than I thought it would be because I actually hired a trainer and I’ve been working on it. So, I’m further along than I thought I would be.”
