In a recent interview with Drop the Heat (via Fightful), MVP discussed the reunion of the Hurt Syndicate in AEW, explaining that his motivation behind bringing the group back together was to close that chapter the way it “should have been ended.” The group, originally known as The Hurt Business in WWE, officially reformed when Bobby Lashley made his AEW debut a few weeks ago, joining forces with MVP and Shelton Benjamin once again.
MVP elaborated on the decision, noting that the original version of The Hurt Business never reached its full potential in WWE, and he felt there was unfinished business. By bringing Lashley, Benjamin, and himself together again in AEW, MVP aims to give the faction the proper ending it deserved, this time on his own terms. He expressed a sense of pride in the group’s legacy and is determined to ensure that their story is told the right way this time around.
MVP said:
“Well the next chapter currently is AEW. Got the boys back together, the Hurt Syndicate. I want to end that chapter the way it should have been ended, so we got plans to do some really good business in AEW. Then, I got a few matches left in me, I’d like to have one, we’ll, a few matches before I hang it up for good because I’m not officially retired yet so I want to have my final retirement match. After that, we’ll see man. I’m enjoying this role as a manager, a mouthpiece, doing commissioner work. If somebody wants to keep paying me to come around and put a microphone to my mouth, I’ll do it for as long as they want me to do it. Otherwise, as far as wrestling, that chapter is coming to a close pretty soon. Right now, I just want to have a good time making money with my friends.”
