Shelton Benjamin: There Was Conversation And Planning For Hurt Business Return, Then Things Changed

The Hurt Business is officially in the past but is still remembered by fans. It was made up of Bobby Lashley, MVP, Cedric Alexander, and Shelton Benjamin.

It was a beloved faction in WWE that was one of the rare highlights during the COVID-19 pandemic era of WWE, where Lashley was the WWE Champion while Alexander and Benjamin found tag team success. WWE broke up the Hurt Business in early 2021. They kept Lashley and MVP together, as MVP would be the manager of Lashley, who was pushed as a top star.

They did have a brief reunion run in 2022. Last year, there was talk of the group getting back together before WWE released Benjamin in a wave of cuts that September.

While speaking with Metro, Shelton Benjamin looked back on the group, noting that there’s still so much more that Hurt Business could offer and noting that it was a decision they didn’t make, which is something they have to live with.

Benjamin said, “There was definitely conversation and planning for the Hurt Business to make a return. Then things just changed. They set dates, the dates changed, and things changed. Then suddenly it was like, ‘Nope, we’re just not doing it.”

Benjamin noted he never got an explanation about the decision.
