WWE teases the return of The Hurt Business for the past month Monday night gross. While the band saw its momentum halted by a weird booking in 2021-22 (mostly because of decisions made regarding Bobby Lashley’s booking), MVP has been hard at work trying to reform the band since early January. He has since convinced Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander to start working as a team again – and even managed them last week on Raw – Lashley’s status has always remained unclear. Porter and Omos (who still works as a Porter client) recently helped Lashley earn another shot at the United States Championship, only for Brock Lesnar to appear and cost him the title fight against Theory and rekindle the feud. they have had for over a year. .
Lashley then appeared in professional attire on Raw this week and appeared to be back in a heel role as Brock Lesnar attempted to challenge him to a match at Disposal Chamber. But there were no references to The Hurt Business throughout Lashley’s promo.
Porter recently spoke with Superstar Crossover’s Josh Martinez and repeatedly mentioned The Hurt Business, going so far as to throw them into matches against The Bloodline and Judgment Day.
“Vince McMahon makes decisions and it’s way above my pay grade. The decision he made. Why did he choose to do it? I have no idea. It was his choice is the boss, well back then he was the boss and that’s the way things are We were all scratching our heads but at the end of the day I make my best to try and get the team together. Bobby is a little stubborn, but I got Shelton and Cedric on board with me and I’m trying to get Bobby to come. We’ll see if we can get The Hurt Business back together,” Porter said.

Along with Omos’ association, fans online have also offered Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins from The Street Profits to join the revived faction. Do you think WWE will pull the trigger and add Lashley into the fold before his match with Lesnar (presumably at WrestleMania 39). Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
