Popular WWE faction expected to have blockbuster reunion in AEW; potential new name revealed - Reports
A popular WWE faction is expected to reunite in AEW. Their new name has also potentially been revealed.
The Hurt Business was a popular faction that consisted of Bobby Lashley, Cedric Alexander, Shelton Benjamin, and MVP. When they first formed, the group proved to be a dominant force who weren't afraid to wreak havoc on anyone who stepped in their way.
However, their run as a faction only ran a couple of years before the group disbanded. Since then, there have been teases of a reunion but nothing ever came of it and all members eventually went their separate ways. Fans are now eager to see a reunion of The Hurt Business since all members except Cedric Alexander have left WWE.
Wrestling Observer Newsletter has reported that a lot of people believe Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, and MVP will reunite in AEW under a new name, 'The Hurt Syndicate.' However, it all comes down to Tony Khan ultimately.
Booker T offers some advice to Bobby Lashley following WWE exit
After Bobby Lashley left WWE, many people wondered what he would do next. The veteran had mentioned that he had a boxing match planned in Vegas but hadn't named his possible opponent.
Speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T advised Lashley not to partake in a boxing match. He noted that Lashley was now older and slower and despite his size he hadn't been training as a boxer. However, the Hall of Famer said that if the 48-year-old really wanted to go get knocked out he should fight Jake Paul.
"I like Bobby, but if you want to go get knocked out, go fight Jake Paul," Booker T said. "Doesn't matter [that he's bigger] one bit. [Lashley is] older, slower, as well as he hasn't been training to be a boxer. Boxing is not something you play, as real as it possible could be. If I was advising Bobby Lashley, I would advise him, 'Bro. Do something else.'" [H/T: Wrestling INC]

Although Booker T's advice sounds wise, it remains to be seen if Bobby Lashley will listen to the legend and stay away from boxing, despite the temptation.
