WWE.com Thursday announced the release of Montel Vontavious Porter, who had reportedly been making noise of moving on for a while.
According to the wrestler’s Twitter, he personally asked for the release in order to “freshen things up.”
Wrote MVP, “No need for alarm. I did not get fired. I asked for & received my release. I felt it was time to go international & freshen things up.”
Over the past few months, numerous quotes had suggested MVP was no longer content with his standing in WWE. His release, now officially confirmed, was thus hardly unexpected.
