AEW is home to numerous captivating factions. Among them, The Hurt Syndicate is currently sending shockwaves across the industry. This stable consists of former WWE stars, MVP, Shelton Benjamin and Bobby Lashley. When they were signed to the Stamford-based promotion, they were known as The Hurt Business.
Tony Khan has been booking The Hurt Syndicate quite well. Both Lashley and Benjamin are equally dominating. Every time they enter the squared circle individually, they have only one thing on their minds: to hurt people. Fans had expected The All Mighty's booking to be immaculate. However, the fact that Khan has booked The Gold Standard so well has surprised thousands of fans worldwide. Even though the 49-year-old has lost two matches since his AEW debut, he is still a force to be reckoned with.
