MVP will be in the corner of Omos for the Nigerian giant’s WrestleMania 39 match with Brock Lesnar, but that’s not the match MVP is most excited to see.
WrestleMania 39 will take place next weekend at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, California, and will be the fourth two-night WrestleMania in a row.
Speaking on the “After the Bell with Corey Graves” podcast, MVP said that he’s most interested in the RAW Women’s Championship match between the champion Bianca Belair and Asuka. He said,
“The match that I am most looking forward to is Bianca versus Asuka, the EST versus the Empress. As a fan, and a practitioner of the craft, this match intrigues me more than virtually any other on the card because I see two women who are incredible athletes who have devoted themselves to the craft, Asuka, more than Bianca because she came along earlier.
“But if you look at their pedigrees to the business, and Asuka, we won’t even have to look at what she’s accomplished before coming to the WWE, but if you look at her accomplishments at the Performance Center at NXT, all the way to WWE, Asuka and Bianca are very similar.
“They both set the bar extremely high in NXT becoming champions there, coming up to the main roster, and then doing it again having impressive championship runs. They’re both incredibly talented, incredibly intelligent, and I am stoked to see how these women match up.”
Belair’s tenure as RAW Women’s Champion recently became the longest reign of any black champion in WWE, surpassing MVP’s first run as United States Champion.
The upcoming RAW Women’s Championship match will mark Belair’s third straight title match at WrestleMania and her first time walking in as champion.
MVP also spoke about Omos’ upcoming match with Lesnar and called the Nigerian the greatest giant in WWE history.
