Former WWE stars MVP, Bobby Lashley, and Shelton Benjamin are reportedly in talks with AEW after their WWE contracts expired, raising speculation about the trio forming a new faction similar to 'The Hurt Business' in AEW. While Cedric Alexander has re-signed with WWE, MVP, Lashley, and Benjamin are free to join AEW, and credible sources confirmed ongoing negotiations. A new faction name, 'The Hurt Syndicate,' has been trademarked, indicating potential plans for their reunion. Additionally, AEW is rumored to be working on a new TV deal and show, 'Shockwave,' possibly with FOX, following the move of WWE's SmackDown back to the USA Network.
