MVP recently opened up about adding more members to The Hurt Syndicate faction. The group featured Shelton Benjamin, Bobby Lashley, and MVP himself
During a recent interview with James Varsallone, MVP claimed that The Hurt Syndicate would love to add Cedric Alexander to the group. However, MVP made it crystal clear that hiring a new wrestler to the company is Tony Khan’s decision.
On the possibility of former Hurt Business member in WWE, Cedric Alexander, joining them again in the Hurt Syndicate in AEW: “We would absolutely love to have Cedric, but we don’t do the hiring, and that’s a Tony Khan question. But in terms of having another member, that’s something we’ve always been open to. One of the things that we’ve said consistently is that, because of who we are and how old we are, the thought of adding another member is usually adding someone who’s younger and could benefit from the association with us. They could be elevated by us. That’s how Cedric came to be a part of us, initially.”
On what they are looking for in a potential new addition to the group: “So at this immediate time, we haven’t had any conversations about bringing somebody new in, contrary to what’s been reported, but we are open to adding another member with the right person at the right time. We’d absolutely love to have another young member, that, hey, we need a high flyer. Shelton is too big. I don’t know if you’ve seen him lately, but he looks like he’s 280 pounds shredded. He can still move like that, but now he’s more of a tank, rather than an F-35 or whatever.” (H/T to Fightful.com for transcribing the above quotes).
