The Hurt Business members not happy with faction split, decision made by Vince McMahon - Reports
Following the break-up of The Hurt Business on the most recent edition of RAW, lots of viewers expressed their disappointment at the development. On RAW, leader MVP kicked out Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander, who are former RAW Tag Team Champions.
According to a recent report from Fightful, the members of the Hurt Business felt very much the same way as the fans in regards to their split. According to the report, the decision to split the successful group was made solely by Vince McMahon.
It has also been stated that both MVP and WWE Champion Bobby Lashley met with Vince McMahon to discuss the move. Apparently, both Lashley and MVP were very vocal about their disagreement with the split, but McMahon was set in his choice. Following the discussion with McMahon, the CEO of WWE was even more adamant that the split had to go ahead.
Fightful has also stated the move from Vince McMahon hasn't been great for the backstage morale of other WWE talent.
