MVP Says He Missed AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door Because Ricochet Called The UK Immigration Department On Him

MVP explains his AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door absence.
The Hurt Syndicate’s domination came to an end at the pay-per-view, as they lost the AEW World Tag Team Championships to Brodido (Brody King & Bandido). Ricochet and the Gates Of Agony were a deciding factor in this match, attacking and taking out Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin at ringside.
In a social exclusive, MVP explained his absence from the London pay-per-view, saying that Ricochet called the immigration department on him.
“Ricochet, you think you’re real slick don’t you. My lawyer told me we know it was you that sent that document to the UK immigration department saying you felt threatened by me being a convicted felon to block my work visa so I couldn’t be at Forbidden Door. Coward. You’ve got 500 pounds of beef behind you and your nuts dropped, magnificent. What you succeeded in doing is putting yourself in an unwinnable situation because this is the standard of excellence Shelton Benjamin. This the almighty Bobby Lashley. We coming and we’re gonna crash through them gates and introduce you to some real agony. We are the Hurt Syndicate and we hurt people.”
MVP returned the factor on Wednesday’s episode of Dynamite, costing Ricochet and the Gates Of Agony a chance at winning the AEW World Trios Championships.
