Bobby Lashley has hinted at expanding The Hurt Syndicate even further in AEW.
Despite the fact that WWE fans called for a Hurt Business reunion in the company, their wish was never granted. However, with Lashley, Shelton Benjamin and MVP now all a part of AEW, the trio have reunited without Cedric Alexander to form the latest iteration of the faction.
Over the past few weeks, MVP has given out business cards to numerous talents to indicate that he is interested in working with them. According to Lashley, more names could be on the way soon.
Appearing on The Lame Guys Wrestling Podcast, Lashley expanded on his motivations for becoming All Elite and discussed The Hurt Business. Praising the group for being able to build talents up, The Allmighty added that more members could be added:
“I was like, ‘If I’m going to go out, there are certain ways that I want to go out.’ I didn’t get an opportunity to go out the way that I wanted to with putting guys over and having a feud with those guys. Another avenue I could be happy with is to be able to work with P and Shelton again, being able to run with that and have fun with it.
Ultimately, we are a group that is good for the company. We have the ability to be able to build talent. If you go into a feud with us or you’re on the mic against P, you have Shelton, me, whoever else we bring on. You have a lot of obstacles.”
When asked who he would like to see added to the group, Lashley first named former ally Lio Rush before also mentioning Hook and Ricochet.
