#2. Why Bobby Lashley shouldn't retain: He isn't as powerful without The Hurt Business

WWE made a controversial decision by splitting the original line-up of The Hurt Business, as Bobby Lashley seemingly fired Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander. The Hurt Business was not only the best faction WWE has seen in years, but it helped elevate the careers of three men - with Bobby Lashley benefiting the most.
While the decision to disband the original Hurt Business line-up is unpopular, the move was likely made to get more heat on Bobby Lashley at WrestleMania 37 when crowds will be present. There was a high chance of Bobby Lashley getting cheered over the babyface Drew McIntyre.

However, it's a decision that could hurt Bobby Lashley, especially heading into WrestleMania 37. The Hurt Business played a huge role in elevating Bobby Lashley to WWE Championship level, and King Corbin is a less-than-suitable replacement for Benjamin & Alexander.
Even if Bobby Lashley's WWE Title reign continues post-WrestleMania, his momentum will likely come to a halt.
