MVP suddenly gives a new nickname to top AEW star

MVP is one of the most iconic stars from the Ruthless Aggression Era. He is still going at it as part of The Hurt Syndicate in All Elite Wrestling. The 51-year-old recently praised a top AEW performer during an interview, calling him a "superstar." The pro wrestler is none other than current TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher.

The ProtoStar competed in an intense AEW World Championship match in the main event of AEW All Out 2025 against Hangman Adam Page but came up short.

While speaking on TMZ's Inside The Ring podcast, the former WWE United States Champion praised Fletcher, calling him a superstar.

"My nickname for Kyle Fletcher is 'superstar,' because he looks like a star, but he's still young. He's got a lot to learn. I don't think any of us at his age had it figured out yet, and that would include Stevie. To say that there's no one there to mentor him, I wouldn't call Edge no one. I wouldn't call Christian no one. I wouldn't call Shelton Benjamin or Bobby Lashley no one," he said.

MVP continued:

"I think there are quite a few people there that [sic] can teach him quite a bit. His aptitude is pretty good; there are certain things you just got to remember. There's also youthful exuberance, and the young guys still want to go out there and do things that, from a veteran standpoint, several years down the road, I don't think they need to do. I think sometimes they do things gratuitously, but it's their road to travel. It's for them to learn." [H/T: eWrestlingNews]

MVP was also in action at the AEW All Out event

AEW presented its annual All Out pay-per-view from Toronto last weekend. The event saw some great matches, including the tag team bout, pitting Adam Copeland and Christian Cage against FTR.

The show also featured a six-man tag team match, in which The Hurt Syndicate faced the team of Ricochet and the Gates of Agony. Following an intense battle, the erstwhile Prince Puma and his stablemates picked up the win over MVP and Co.

Fans are curious to see if this will lead to another clash between the two groups.
