The Hurt Syndicate is getting a chance to continue their story in AEW, and it’s all because MVP took a chance convincing Bobby Lashley to jump ship.
All Elite Wrestling‘s MVP recently sat down with Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times. When asked about what led to The Hurt Business reuniting as The Hurt Syndicate in AEW, MVP recalled a conversation with Bobby Lashley in catering at a WWE event where he told him not to re-sign with the company.
“I was sitting next to Bobby in catering and said, ‘We got to get out of here,’” MVP said. “[He told Lashley], ‘Don’t re-sign. Let’s get Shelton and go across the street [to AEW]. Our story is not finished.’”
Porter would go on to praise Tony Khan for allowing them to finish The Hurt Syndicate’s story in All Elite Wrestling.
“Tony has given us that gift of allowing us to finish telling The Hurt Syndicate Story our way,” MVP said. “We made clear to Tony that we are OGs and we understand it’s time to make new stars, and that’s our goal. We’re not here for a long time and we know how to do business, make money and how to make stars.”
