In WWE as The Hurt Business, MVP, Shelton Benjamin, and Bobby Lashley were accompanied by Cedric Alexander, making their team a full stable with a manager as a substitute of the setup they’ve as The Hurt Syndicate in AEW, where MVP is oftentimes their third member when he doesn’t manage them.
The group briefly had MVP as a fourth member, but based on Lashley’s comments while on “The Danny Ocean Show,” the group is actively seeking to fill the fourth spot.
“There’s some great talent on the AEW roster that would probably slot in with us rather well,” he stated, singling out Kevin Knight who’s currently teaming with Mike Bailey as JetSpeed. “That child is on fire! He’s young, he’s impressive, he looks great within the ring! I mean, he can do all of it at once.”
Lashley then admitted that THS also checked out recruiting Swerve Strickland for a while, and while things didn’t work ultimately, they still have their eye on him.
“There’s so many guys within the roster that may benefit from being with us,” he added. “One other person who’s there, that is getting pulled in a bunch of various angles at once is Will Ospreay.”
Lashley noted that while Will Ospreay appears to be in high demand, THS must also be one among the stables vying for his attention. While Lashley has his eye on many AEW talents, he highlighted something that might be a legitimate problem for his stable.
“I feel the issue that we’ve got at once is that The Hurt Syndicate is just too strong,” he claimed. “If we bring those guys on there, we might be just unstoppable!” In light of The Recent Day’s WWE departure, Lashley proclaimed that in the event that they find yourself being AEW-bound, he’ll do all the things he can to get them into the group.
