AEW Star MVP Plans Retirement Tour After Year or Two

AEW star MVP has announced that he is nearing the end of his in-ring wrestling career and plans to have a retirement tour to say goodbye to fans in various cities. On his Marking Out podcast, MVP explained that he still enjoys wrestling but will retire once he can no longer perform effectively or has to endure risky moves like baseball slide bumps. He estimates he has only about one to two years left as an active wrestler, though he anticipates continuing as a manager for another decade or more, depending on his health. Since signing with AEW in 2024, MVP has also competed on the independent wrestling circuit and recently led the Hurt Syndicate faction, which now includes MJF. His last match was in May 2025 against Al Snow at a Northeast Wrestling event. MVP’s desire for a retirement tour puts pressure on AEW management, particularly Tony Khan, to accommodate his final run in professional wrestling.
