Ever since he lost to “Hangman” Adam Page at AEW Revolution, MJF has decided to pair himself up with a gaggle, as a way to get back his AEW World Championship. To that end, he has tried to affix up with the Hurt Syndicate, a choice supported by the group’s mouthpiece, MVP, but one not quite supported by the AEW World Tag Team Champions Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin. This has been despite MJF’s best efforts, including helping the duo retain the titles, bribes, an evening of partying, and other offers.
Though Lashley and Benjamin are skeptical of MJF, Bishop Dyer, aka former WWE star Baron Corbin and long-time pal of the previous AEW World Champion, just isn’t. As he revealed on “Busted Open Radio” last week while reviewing “Dynamite,” there’s nothing he sees about MJF joining Hurt Syndicate that is a negative. The truth is, he feels it will be essential for somebody like Lashley, who may have AEW World Championship aspirations.
“If Bobby desires to win a World Title, [if] he has aspirations, why not bring MJF into the group and learn from him?” Dyer said. “[He’s] any person who’s been there and done it. I believe that…for me, if I’m Bob, that may be something I’d do.
“I’d welcome MJF into the group, and be like ‘Man, you probably did it. You were on top of the mountain that I would like to climb.’ Let me…it’s like Tom Brady’s your quarterback, and you are the backup for 4 or 5 years. And also you learn from one in every of the best that there’s…Why not learn from someone of that Brady caliber? For old Bob, it will be a superb decision.”
