Popular WWE star takes brutal dig at Hurt Syndicate member in AEW - "You’re the least hurtful on the team"

WWE star Michin has taken a major shot at an AEW star belonging to The Hurt Syndicate. The star is none other than Shelton Benjamin.

The Hurt Syndicate recently emerged in All Elite Wrestling and has proven to be a strong unit. Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin have dominated the in-ring competition, whereas MVP has showcased his incredible business skills by putting over the group and handing out business cards to stars like Ricochet, Max Caster, Lio Rush, and more.

On X (formerly known as Twitter), Shelton Benjamin promoted the new Hurt Syndicate merchandise in All Elite Wrestling. WWE star Michin responded to the post and claimed that The Gold Standard was the "least hurtful on the team."

"You’re the least hurtful on the team!" she wrote.

Shelton Benjamin and Michin are great friends and often engage in hilarious back-and-forths on social media.


Shelton Benjamin on AEW being an alternative

The Standard of Excellence has been presented as a major star in All Elite Wrestling since his debut. The veteran is often labeled as one of the most underutilized talents in wrestling due to his treatment in WWE.

In a recent chat on the Gabby AF podcast, The Gold Standard noted how All Elite Wrestling was now a strong alternative to the Stamford-based promotion and spoke about the importance of having a strong rival promotion.

"I look at the overall effect that AEW has had on the wrestling landscape. And for the most part, and to me, it’s been mostly positive. You need a strong company aside from WWE. And there are a lot of guys and girls in AEW who may not have ever gotten a shot to even be on national TV. So I applaud [them]; they are really giving a lot of well-deserving chances to shine. We needed AEW as opposed to WWE," he said. [H/T: Wrestle Zone]

We will have to wait and see if Shelton Benjamin wins singles gold in All Elite Wrestling in the coming months.
