Shelton Benjamin Reflects on Disbandment of The Hurt Business in WWE

In a recent interview on the Talk Is Jericho podcast, Shelton Benjamin expressed his feelings of betrayal following the abrupt disbanding of The Hurt Business in WWE, a faction he believes played a significant role in supporting the company during the pandemic. He recounted a conversation with Vince McMahon, who informed him that they had 'gone as far as we can with The Hurt Business,' despite their success and popularity. Benjamin emphasized that he dedicated himself to the company and felt let down by the decision, especially after years of hard work and commitment without much recognition. He highlighted the group's contribution to WWE during a challenging time, stating that they, along with Roman Reigns, helped carry the company. Now performing as part of The Hurt Syndicate in AEW, Benjamin continues to reflect on the loss of the faction and the lack of a clear explanation from WWE regarding its dissolution. His experience illustrates the challenges faced by wrestlers in navigating their careers within the ever-evolving landscape of professional wrestling.
