MVP: ‘Business Has Just Picked Up’ Following Shelton Benjamin AEW Debut
MVP says ‘business’ is picking up in All Elite Wrestling. He made his AEW debut at last week’s AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam and this week, he made a massive move.
Last night’s AEW Dynamite celebrated its 5-year anniversary and it featured a segment where Renee Paquette interviewed MVP backstage ahead of his announcement. Prince Nana interrupted him and MVP said that he was not the one who handled complaints. He then introduced Shelton Benjamin as his business partner and ‘President of the Complaint Department.’
Following the show, MVP dropped a video clip on social media in which he and Benjamin could be seen leaving the arena together. He said that business had just picked up. The former Hurt Business teammates bumped fists as MVP laughed while walking away.
This marked Shelton Benjamin’s first appearance in the promotion. He was let go from WWE back in September 2023. After being a free agent for over a year, he has finally signed with AEW. There is a huge possibility that Bobby Lashley could be next to show up. This will complete their reunion but under the new stable name, ‘The Hurt Syndicate’, judging by a trademark filing last month.
MVP previously announced that he will not return to WWE during a Bloodsport event. There have been reports that Lashley and MVP hope to reunite in AEW which that could soon be happening. The addition of the Hurt Syndicate could prove to be an impactful move and this is likely to mark MVP’s last run before retirement.
