MVP reveals The Hurt Syndicate's potential plans before retirement
The Hurt Syndicate has been dominating the AEW tag team division, with Shelton Benjamin and Bobby Lashley currently holding the World Tag Team Title. Speaking with Denise Salcedo, MVP admitted that the group members were at the tail end of their respective careers.
The veteran further revealed the group's plans, stating that The Hurt Syndicate would go after singles titles after its current reign with tag team gold before riding into the sunset.
"We wanted to come over, we wanted to have fun, work with some new talent. We know the clock is ticking; we're at the tail end of our careers, and we wanted to make some guys on the way out. So, we are just beginning, we have plans. We're going to run these tag titles for a while, and then, when we're done with that, we're going to get some singles championships for Shelton and Bobby, and then when we're done with that; we're gonna make some new stars, and we're going to move on into the sunset!" he said.
Only time will tell what Tony Khan has in store for Bobby Lashley and Co. in AEW.
