The Hurt Business is going from strength to strength on Monday Night RAW. After weeks and weeks of attempts from MVP to recruit Cedric Alexander, he finally turned heel and joined The Hurt Business this week on RAW. This new direction would certainly help the extremely talented young Superstar who could "learn and earn" with the faction.

It has been over a month since MVP, Bobby Lashley, and Shelton Benjamin joined hands to form The Hurt Business. In a very short time, they have become a dominant faction, destroying the competition on RAW as well as RAW Underground.
With the latest edition of the former Cruiserweight Champion Cedric Alexander, The Hurt Business is now stronger than ever before. MVP has been trying to recruit several Superstars to his faction and he will likely continue to do so. With that in mind, let's take a look at five Superstars who could join The Hurt Business after Cedric Alexander. Be sure to comment down and let us know your picks.
Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?
#5 Apollo Crews joins The Hurt Business
At first, the idea of Apollo Crews joining The Hurt Business, the faction that he has been feuding with for so long, seems absurd. But the same was the case with Cedric Alexander as well until last week.
Apollo Crews had a decent run as the United States Champion, but now that he has lost it, it might not be long before he gets lost in the mid-card shuffle. Instead, him joining hands with The Hurt Business could lead to some exciting new opportunities for him. Once his feud with Bobby Lashley is done, MVP might finally be able to convince him to do business with him.
The Hurt Business has the potential to be one of the best factions in modern WWE and with someone like MVP as their voice, it can rule the roster of WWE.
#4 Nia Jax joins The Hurt Business
Bobby Lashley's recent comments have started speculation that a female could join The Hurt Business soon. During his appearance on RAW Talk, the CEO of The Hurt Business said the following:
"Since we're talking about all titles, we have to fit all classes. 205 Live, Women's Title, Tag Titles, Universal Titles, cross promotion, Intercontinental Titles, Tag Titles over there. You know, there's a lot of people to go after in WWE."
One of the top contenders who can become the first female member of The Hurt Business is Nia Jax. The former RAW Women's Champion is arguably the strongest woman on the WWE roster but has been under criticism lately due to her in-ring skills.
Joining The Hurt Business would provide a new direction for Nia Jax. She can start a path of destruction ultimately leading to a title program for the RAW Women's Championship. WWE already has a solid storyline in place for her feud with Asuka. Nia Jax was the one who injured her friend Kairi Sane during one of their matches on WWE RAW earlier this year.
#3 Shayna Baszler joins The Hurt Business
Another interesting new member for The Hurt Business could be the tag team partner of Nia Jax and one half of the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, Shayna Baszler. The former NXT Women's Champion is one of the most dangerous and dominating Superstars in all of WWE.
Baszler's main roster stint started with an amazing push with her defeating Becky Lynch and Bayley in the main event of Survivor Series 2019. She went on to challenge Becky Lynch for her RAW Women's Championship at WrestleMania 36, but things derailed once she lost to her. Following her unsuccessful Money in the Bank appearance, she was absent from WWE programming for a long time, leading to fans thinking that WWE has given up on her.
While she is currently teaming-up with Nia Jax, the two will likely not stay together once they lose their titles. An interesting direction for the Queen of Spades after that could be joining The Hurt Business. With her background in MMA, she could team up with The Hurt Business and dominate the scene on RAW Underground.
#2 Ricochet joins The Hurt Business
Ricochet is one of the many talented young Superstars in the mid-card scene of Monday Night RAW. He and Cedric Alexander were feuding against The Hurt Business together until the latter turned on Ricochet and joined hands with MVP and company.
While Ricochet would likely feud with The Hurt Business for some time, it is unlikely that he'll be able to defeat the faction. That could ultimately lead to Cedric Alexander convincing him to do what he did and join the faction. A classic example of - If you can't beat them, join them.
Ricochet has been constantly overlooked on Monday Night RAW, being involved as a side-character in various storylines. He and Mustafa Ali have been delivering some amazing matches on WWE Main Event and have shown their frustration towards not getting any proper limelight on RAW.
Ricochet turning heel and joining The Hurt Business could be an interesting new direction for him and help him show his versatility. There is no doubt that he is an amazing wrestler and an athlete. But he could learn so much more about the "entertainment" side of the business with The Hurt Business.
#1 Titus O'Neil joins The Hurt Business
Titus O'Neil is one of those Superstars who has all the looks to become a World Champion. Unfortunately, his career has mostly been filled with comedic segments and roles. But joining The Hurt Business could lead to the fans witnessing a completely new side of Titus.
One can just compare the difference between the Bobby Lashley that was involved with Lana in romantic segments to the Lashley that has been destroying his opponents as part of The Hurt Business. The same could be the case with Titus O'Neil, who surely could have a dominating presence over the WWE roster.
A determined and heel Titus O'Neil teaming up with Lashley would make for an amazing team, something WWE badly needs since the tag team division at this point looks pretty weak.
All and all, The Hurt Business is a gold mine for WWE to explore with plenty of directions to take and decisions to make. So far, they have impressed but it is to be seen how long they can continue to maintain their dominance over the roster. Who would you want to see join The Hurt Business next?
