Former WWE Stars in Talks with AEW

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.
