Bobby Lashley was advised by MVP to leave WWE

While speaking to The Chicago Sun Times, MVP talked about the Hurt Business splitting up in WWE and how that was when he realized it was time to leave the company. MVP revealed what he said to Bobby Lashley and then commented on the group being reformed as The Hurt Syndicate in AEW…

“I was sitting next to Bobby in catering and said, ‘We got to get out of here. Don’t re-sign. Let’s get Shelton and go across the street [to AEW]. Our story is not finished.’”

“Tony [Khan] has given us that gift of allowing us to finish telling The Hurt Syndicate Story our way. We made clear to Tony that we are OGs and we understand it’s time to make new stars, and that’s our goal. We’re not here for a long time and we know how to do business, make money and how to make stars.”
