Hurt Syndicate Has Had Talks With AEW (Patreon)
Content
A new, but familiar act has been in talks with All Elite Wrestling.
A recent trademark has led to much speculation about the future of what was the Hurt Business.
Totally Harmless Concept LLC filed to trademark “The Hurt Syndicate” two weeks ago, after previously filing for trademarks on other MVP related phrases and names. We can confirm there have been discussions and even so plans to continue a faction similar to The Hurt Business outside WWE. Specifically, we’ve heard that AEW has had discussions with Bobby Lashley, MVP and Shelton Benjamin in recent weeks. However, we’ve not been told that a deal was done or imminent.
As we noted recently, Bobby Lashley’s deal with WWE expired. MVP and Shelton Benjamin are also free agents. We have not heard any involvement with tonight's AEW Tag Team Casino Gauntlet.
