The Hurt Syndicate to make AEW debut and confront former WWE Champion at Grand Slam 2024? Exploring the chances
The Hurt Syndicate is rumored to join AEW. The stable will reportedly consist of former Hurt Business members Bobby Lashley, MVP, and Shelton Benjamin, who have already parted ways with WWE. However, since Cedric Alexander has re-signed with the Stamford-based promotion, he will not be part of the potential group.
A while ago, it was reported that Totally Harmless Concept LLC had trademarked The Hurt Syndicate moniker. This fueled rumors of The All Mighty joining the Tony Khan-led promotion. The three former WWE stars are rumored to arrive together. They could be portrayed as babyfaces and pitted against former WWE Champion Jon Moxley's new heel faction on Dynamite: Grand Slam.
The Purveyor of Violence, Claudio Castagnoli, PAC, and Marina Shafir are wreaking havoc in the Jacksonville-based company. Their actions at All Out made it clear they wanted to assert their dominance on the roster.
The Hurt Syndicate could make its debut on Dynamite: Grand Slam and try to stop Moxley and his stable from targeting a babyface like Darby Allin. This could start an interesting rivalry storyline between the two groups.
Bobby Lashley comments on his future following WWE exit
Since Bobby Lashley departed from World Wrestling Entertainment, fans have been speculating what's next for the 48-year-old star. In a recent vlog on his YouTube channel, he addressed his pro wrestling future.
The All Mighty said he knew fans were curious about his next move, but he couldn't control what the future had in store for him. But one thing he could control was how he dealt with whatever situation he found himself in. Hence, he was preparing himself for new challenges and was "ready for anything."
Lashley left World Wrestling Entertainment after his contract expired in August. This marked the end of his second run in the Stamford-based company. He returned to the Triple H-led company in 2018. Before that, he worked for the organization from 2005 to 2008.
