It appears that Bobby Lashley‘s character may be undergoing a significant change in the world of WWE. In recent weeks, WWE has been teasing a reunion of The Hurt Business, a stable consisting of Lashley, MVP, Cedric Alexander, and Shelton Benjamin. This has led to speculation about the potential shift in Lashley’s character to a heel.
On Monday’s episode of Raw, MVP was seen speaking with Raw Executive Director Adam Pearce in the background, accompanied by Benjamin and Alexander. This follows MVP’s recent inquiry about Lashley’s status. According to PWInsider, there have been discussions about turning Lashley heel in the near future. This would mark a significant change in the wrestler’s on-screen persona, as he has typically been portrayed as a babyface in recent years. Lashley’s character was even “fired” in a storyline due to his behavior at one point.
Bobby Lashley Enjoyed Period Of Success During Initial Hurt Business Run
The Hurt Business was originally formed by MVP and Lashley in May 2020, with Benjamin and Alexander later joining the group. The group was a dominant force in WWE during the pandemic era, with Bobby Lashley becoming WWE Champion for the first time during the group’s heyday, defeating The Miz in March 2021 and holding the title for six months.
The stable officially disbanded in 2022 after a brief reunion the previous year. It remains to be seen how WWE will incorporate Bobby Lashley’s potential heel turn into the group’s storyline, and fans are definitely curious to see how this development will play out. Will Lashley embrace his villainous side and bring a new dynamic to The Hurt Business, or will he continue to be a fan favorite?
