Major Update on WWE’s Top Stars After Their Surprising Departure

As a seasoned gamer who has witnessed the evolution of professional wrestling over the past decades, I can’t help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation at the prospect of Bobby Lashley, MVP, and Shelton Benjamin potentially joining AEW. Their collective talent and charisma could breathe fresh life into the promotion, much like how a well-timed special move can turn the tide in a video game.


For approximately a year now, some prominent WWE personalities such as Bobby Lashley, MVP, Dolph Ziggler, and Ricochet have parted ways with or been let go by the WWE. Notably, Dolph Ziggler was released last year, whereas Bobby Lashley, MVP, and Ricochet left when their contracts ended.

In the wrestling world, Dolph Ziggler has been causing quite a stir in TNA, whereas Ricochet has just joined forces with AEW. They’ve been butting heads with each other, particularly with AEW International Champion Will Ospreay. As for Lashley and MVP, there are some significant developments unfolding.

Last month, the pair parted ways with WWE when their contracts ended without a renewal. It’s rumored that Lashley, MVP, and Shelton Benjamin (who was previously let go last year) were aiming to bring back The Hurt Business group, possibly in AEW instead of WWE.

After they left, Totally Harmless Concept LLC, who had previously applied for trademarks related to MVP’s ring name and similar terms, also registered a trademark for “The Hurt Syndicate”. New developments indicate AEW’s possible interest in Lashley and MVP, as well as the reason behind MVP’s registration of The Hurt Syndicate trademark.

AEW reportedly interested in Bobby Lashley, MVP and Shelton Benjamin

Based on information from Fightful Select, it appears that AEW is contemplating a reworked edition of The Hurt Business, known as The Hurt Syndicate. This report suggests that AEW has been discussing potential collaborations with former members Bobby Lashley, MVP, and Shelton Benjamin regarding this new group.

It’s undecided at this point if contracts with these ex-WWE stars have been sealed. Additionally, there are talks about maintaining a group similar to The Hurt Business outside of WWE. It’ll be intriguing to find out whether AEW and the former members of The Hurt Business pursue this concept, and if they do, what name they might choose for their faction within Tony Khan’s promotion.
