A new report has revealed that WWE stars MVP and Bobby Lashley plan to reunite the Hurt Business and could potentially join AEW.
On July 21, Fightful Select reported that Bobby Lashley’s WWE contract “was set to expire” and he “could be leaving the company soon.”
In a followup report from PW Nexus, it was revealed that Lashley had been removed from the internal WWE roster, which you can read more about here.
As previously reported, Lashley’s real life friend and former manager MVP had also been removed from the company’s internal roster as well.
Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer provided an update, noting that Bobby Lashley and MVP are reportedly on their way out of WWE and looking to reunite with Shelton Benjamin to reform the Hurt Business in AEW.
He said:
“I know that there is talk of them trying to get into AEW.
“It’s one of those things where technically nobody can talk to them because I don’t believe either’s contract has expired, but their contracts are going to expire and they are, at this point, as things stand right now, WWE is under the assumption that they are gone and that they are going to try to revamp the Hurt Business.
“I don’t know if they’ll use that name or not, I guess it depends on the ownership of the name.
“They wanna get Shelton Benjamin who’s also a free agent and revamp the group in AEW. Whether this happens or not, it depends on Tony Khan. But it’s definitely something that is under consideration. I don’t think it’s a done deal or anything like that, but it’s something that is alive.
“But as of right now, Bobby Lashley and MVP are both going to be gone from WWE when their contract expires which is relatively soon.”
JJA Sport Studio will provide any further updates on Bobby Lashley and MVP’s WWE statuses when they become available.
