It looks like AEW is getting closer to signing former members of The Hurt Business, which included Bobby Lashley, MVP, Cedric Alexander, and Shelton Benjamin. While Alexander is still with WWE, the rest are free agents.
Recently, Lashley and MVP decided to leave WWE, and they are reportedly interested in bringing Benjamin back to form the faction in AEW.
According to Fightful Select, the group members have been talking with AEW. They are also considering continuing a faction similar to The Hurt Business outside of WWE. AEW has been in discussions with MVP, Lashley, and Benjamin, but there’s no confirmation that a deal is finalized or on the verge of happening.
A few weeks ago, a company called Totally Harmless Concept LLC applied for the trademark “The Hurt Syndicate,” which is the same company that has registered other names related to MVP.
