The Hurt Syndicate has officially reformed in AEW, and MVP and Bobby Lashley recently opened up about bringing the stable back together during an appearance on AEW Close Up. The two, along with fellow member Cedric Alexander, sat down with Renee Paquette to discuss the decision to revive the group. During the conversation, they shared their thoughts on what led to the reformation and what fans can expect moving forward. You can check out a couple of highlights from their discussion below (h/t to Wrestling Inc):
MVP on why the group reformed in AEW:
“Quite frankly because we had an idea that initially was conceived by Bobby and we were able to put it together and we executed it flawlessly and it was very organically popular and unfortunately it was ended long before anybody was ready for it to end. We felt that we wanted to give our story the proper ending that it deserved, and Tony Khan was kind enough to allow us to bring our conglomerate here and continue doing what we do better than virtually anybody else.”
Bobby Lashley on putting the group back together:
“We were talking backstage and then we said, ‘Alright, ‘P’s there, we got us two,’ I said, ‘That’s already a group.’ The fans wanted us back. Even to this day, before coming back, anytime I posted something at least one comment would say ‘Hurt Business,’ ‘Hurt Business,’ ‘Hurt Business.” They always wanted to see us get back together because it was something that was real… And we said, ‘Man, we gotta do it again,’ and this was the perfect opportunity to do it again.”
