Over the weekend, it was reported that Bobby Lashley’s WWE contract is set to expire in the near future. There was also a claim that both Lashley and MVP have been removed from WWE’s internal roster.

While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com discussed the talk of The Hurt Business potentially reuniting in AEW…

“I know that there is talk of them trying to get into AEW. It’s one of those things where technically nobody can talk to them because I don’t believe either’s contract has expired, but their contracts are going to expire and they are, at this point, as things stand right now, WWE is under the assumption that they are gone and that they are going to try to revamp the Hurt Business. I don’t know if they’ll use that name or not, I guess it depends on the ownership of the name. They wanna get Shelton Benjamin who’s also a free agent and revamp the group in AEW.

Whether this happens or not, it depends on Tony Khan. But it’s definitely something that is under consideration. I don’t think it’s a done deal or anything like that, but it’s something that is alive. But as of right now, Bobby Lashley and MVP are both going to be gone from WWE when their contract expires which is relatively soon.” (quote courtesy of WrestleTalk.com)

MVP posted a salute emoji on Sunday as speculation about The Hurt Business began to develop. MVP was recently critical of how WWE utilized The Hurt Business in a series of public posts.
