Bobby Lashley on MVP signing with AEW
Prior to his blockbuster debut on Dynamite this week, Bobby Lashley weighed in on AEW signing MVP. Speaking on The Lame Guys podcast recently, he said the following about MVP going All Elite:
"With any show, you need your established guys to help establish some that aren't. MVP coming over brings a lot of notoriety, a fanbase, and a level starting that they can use. Some of the guys there are fantastic wrestlers, they just need to be in the ring with certain [talent]."
Moreover, Lashley is now officially reunited with MVP and Shelton Benjamin for the first time since their Hurt Business days in the WWE. Only time will tell what's next for The Hurt Syndicate in AEW.
