Ex-WWE star to join The Hurt Syndicate, heel turn? - 5 potential finishes to Bobby Lashley vs. Swerve Strickland at AEW Full Gear
Bobby Lashley is all set to make his AEW pay-per-view debut at Full Gear, and he will be taking on Swerve Strickland in what is going to be a hotly anticipated clash. If there is one match that the fans are looking forward to, it is this.
Lashley will be a favorite for this one, given that this is his first big match in the company. However, at the same time, one should not discount Swerve Strickland and his ability to pull off a surprise.
In this article, we will take a look at five potential finishes when Bobby Lashley takes on Swerve Strickland.
#5. Bobby Lashley wins clean
This is by far the easiest outcome of this match. Bobby Lashley has been booked as a quiet heel who talks less. However, he is portrayed as intimidating.
Given the hype surrounding his arrival in AEW and the fact that this is his first big match, his getting one over Swerve Strickland is one of the most plausible outcomes.
#4. Lashley wins via interference
The Hurt Syndicate surrounds Bobby Lashley, which means Swerve Strickland should always be wary of MVP and Shelton Benjamin. Benjamin recently decimated Komander on his Collision debut and is no pushover.
Although the former WWE star could easily win, one should not be surprised if Shelton Benjamin or MVP interfered in the match.
#3. Prince Nana turns heel
The conception of the Hurt Syndicate started off with MVP targeting Prince Nana on his debut. He targeted the latter as he wanted to manage Swerve Strickland himself and get him into the stable.
Nana and Strickland stuck out for each other and defied MVP a few weeks back. However, there could be a curveball, and Nana could turn on Strickland and align with MVP, making this rivalry all the more compelling.
#2. Lio Rush joins the Hurt Syndicate
The Hurt Syndicate has a legacy. They were once known as the Hurt Business in WWE. During that time, they also had Lio Rush as a member of the faction.
With Lio Rush now a part of AEW, MVP could recruit him into the faction again. The way that could be done is by Rush interfering in Lashley’s match against Strickland. It would give the former WWE Superstar the win and complete Rush’s initiation into the Hurt Syndicate.
#1. Swerve Strickland to win against all odds
Swerve Strickland is really up against all the odds in this match. The Hurt Syndicate will be right there, as they would want Bobby Lashley to get the win.
However, despite all the odds, Strickland could pull off an upset and disrupt the status quo of the Hurt Syndicate. That would set up a great storyline for everyone involved moving forward.
