Ex-WWE star to make a blockbuster comeback and immediately join The Hurt Syndicate? Looking at the chances
The Hurt Syndicate comprises manager MVP and former WWE Intercontinental Champion Shelton Benjamin. However, they are trying to recruit new members. The fans will certainly see this faction grow and become immensely dominant.
The Hurt Syndicate is currently in a rivalry with former AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland and his manager Prince Nana. The stable wants Strickland to join them. However, the former NXT North American Champion believes that Nana is family and does not intend to part with him. This has made MVP and Benjamin furious. Since Strickland has rejected them, they want to punish him. They can do it brutally by recruiting former WWE Superstar Keith Lee.
Keith Lee made his AEW debut in early 2022. His time in the company so far has been lackluster. He held the AEW World Tag Team Championship once with Strickland. Their team was called Swerve In Our Glory. However, the former AEW World Champion turned on Lee, resulting in this duo's extinction.
Since Strickland and Keith Lee have a history, it will be interesting to see the latter join The Hurt Syndicate. This stable will certainly become a force to be reckoned with if the former NXT Champion allies with them. Furthermore, they can even challenge for the AEW World Tag Team Championship or the AEW World Trios Championship.
The Hurt Syndicate manager MVP sent a frightening message to Swerve Strickland
The Hurt Syndicate's Shelton Benjamin made his AEW in-ring debut last week and defeated Lio Rush convincingly. Soon after MVP delivered a promo where he warned Strickland to join the stable or else would be in a world of 'Hurt'.
"Swerve Strickland, I know you’re watching, and I want you to know that you need to reconsider your position because this is your future. And I believe that we need to finish the conversation that we started at Wrestle Dream. You and the standard of excellence, Shelton Benjamin!," said MVP.
Shelton Benjamin and Swerve Strickland will lock horns on AEW Fright Night Dynamite, which will take place next week.
