Hurt Syndicate return on AEW Collision and are ‘in the market for some new talent’
The Hurt Syndicate made their surprise return to AEW TV Thursday as part of Collision with some big news: Bobby Lashley is ready to return and they want to grow their group.
Lashley, Shelton Benjamin and MVP appeared in a pre-taped promo on the broadcast (seen below) where it was revealed by MVP that Lashley has been cleared, something Lashley himself revealed in a late-February interview.
MVP also said the trio are “in the market for some new talent and add someone to the ranks.” Their return date was not announced.
Lashley said in the aforementioned interview that he wasn’t hurt, but that was the reported reason for his absence since last November’s Full Gear when he and Benjamin were part of the inaugural National title gauntlet match.
Benjamin has also been used sparingly since then, wrestling three matches — the last coming in a January defeat to Jon Moxley in a Continental title eliminator.
