MVP Exposes Scrapped WWE Plans to Turn Hurt Business Into Nation of Domination 2.0

MVP didn’t hold back in a now-deleted tweet on November 19, 2024, spilling the details on a controversial creative pitch WWE considered during the Performance Center Era.

According to the wrestling veteran, there was a push to reinvent The Hurt Business as a modern version of the Nation of Domination—a move MVP and his crew were firmly against.

“There was a moment during the ‘PC Era’ when the old man wanted to turn ‘The Hurt Business’ into NOD 2.0,” MVP revealed, seemingly calling out Vince McMahon.

“He even brought in Mark [Henry] & Ron [Simmons]. We fought him on it. Our group was NEVER about RACE. It’s always been about our organic friendship and desire to make money doing what we love!”

Fans quickly picked up on the confession, sparking heated debates online before the tweet mysteriously disappeared.

The drama didn’t end there. One fan accused MVP of hypocrisy, drawing comparisons to his current role in AEW’s Hurt Syndicate with Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin. The fan wrote, “Relax brother, you were one of the first to complain because WWE makes groups based on their race or nationality and you go to another company that does the same but you don’t say anything there. Of course the bad guy was Triple H.”

Never one to back down, MVP delivered a fiery clapback: “Your idiocy is actually quite impressive. Salute. ” He didn’t stop there, adding, “People who were not there telling the actual people involved about what happened and why is my favorite thing about wrestling Twitter.”

The Hurt Business, which became one of WWE’s standout factions during the PC Era, refused to let their vision be boxed into a racial narrative. MVP’s revelation highlights the group’s unwavering stance on being defined by their talent and camaraderie rather than stereotypes.

Now thriving in AEW’s Hurt Syndicate, MVP continues to build his legacy, but his latest revelation shines a light on the creative challenges he and his teammates faced in WWE.

MVP’s comments have reignited conversations about WWE’s handling of factions and representation. Was The Hurt Business right to fight against the NOD 2.0 idea, or could WWE’s pitch have worked in today’s wrestling landscape? Let us know what you think!
