MVP and Shelton Benjamin made their AEW debut at WrestleDream last month before Bobby Lashley made his promotional arrival several weeks later on AEW Dynamite Fright Night, attacking Swerve Strickland.
This is after MVP and Lashley opted to leave WWE earlier this year. While speaking with Renee Paquette, MVP discussed why The Hurt Syndicate, formerly The Hurt Business in WWE, reformed in AEW.
MVP stated, “Unfortunately, it was ended long before anyone was ready for it to end. We felt that we wanted to give our story the proper ending that it deserved. Tony Khan was kind enough to allow us to bring our conglomerate here.”
Lashley said he wanted to do something with Hurt Business ever since his boxing days and thought it was the perfect opportunity to do it again. Lashley will meet Swerve Strickland in his AEW’s in-ring debut at Full Gear.
