AEW star MVP has reiterated that his faction, The Hurt Syndicate, is still open to adding a new, younger member, but explained why it’s a difficult process. Speaking with Adventure Gamers, MVP stated that the group’s real-life friendship is key to their chemistry, and they can’t “just throw some random guy with us.”
He also confirmed that their number one pick would be TNA star Cedric Alexander, their former stablemate in WWE.
“None at all. We’re open to it. It’s something that we want to do… we’d love to have Cedric Alexander back. But that’s above my pay grade. But if Cedric’s not available… there are a few other guys that we’ve talked about amongst ourselves that we’d like to have. The issue with The Hurt Syndicate is that our relationship is organic. We weren’t just three random guys that were thrown together… We’re actually friends, so you can’t just throw some random guy with us that we don’t vibe with because then that throws off the whole group.”
MVP also shut down fan questions about why Bobby Lashley isn’t in the AEW World Title picture, explaining that their current goal was to win tag team gold, which Lashley had never done.
“We want to enjoy this part of our career… Bobby specifically said he had never been a Tag Team champion in his career. He’s held all the significant titles, but never had a tag team championship title. So that was by design. ‘Alright, Bobby, let’s add to your collection.’”
