If MVP never got injured...

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

He would of def became champ right? The best thing that could of happened to Lashley is that MVP got injured and he was able to step in his place and become champ. One would assume MVP was def on a course to do the whole "I have the title so I have the power bullshit"

They could of still made him champion when they made the mistake of turning Lashley babyface but as we all know they went with Kurt Angle.

Yeah, he most likely would've won the title at Slammiversary. This is one of those cases, no offense to MVP, that somehow worked out as good or better, despite being a backup plan, mainly due to how awesome Lashley's been since returning in 2014. Also, while TNA may've had him win the title eventually for 1 more run, a big reason for Angle's reign was because Destination America wanted him as champion.

I like MVP but I'll go ahead and say that Lashley being the monster champion with MVP talking for him worked out 10000x better than any MVP title run could have.

[Super Duper Dragunov]

Especially given the turning heel on Dixie right around then pretty much gave away he was going to be the guy that manipulated his way into being champion.

Lashley worked out awesome, but I would have dug an MVP smug "I'm in control" title reign with Lashley as his muscle.
Then you could have had Lashley turn on MVP down the road ala Batista/HHH.

Only problem is that that dynamic didn't last long enough.
