One of the factions that was popular while it lasted in WWE was The Hurt Business. Now, former WWE United States Champion MVP and Shelton Benjamin have signed deals with Tony Khan and AEW.
Last night on Dynamite, Shelton Benjamin made his in-ring debut in a one-on-one match against Lio Rush. Both MVP and Benjamin are trying to recruit stars to their faction. One of them is Swerve Strickland. Recently, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray shared his thoughts on the AEW version of The Hurt Business.
While speaking on Busted Open Radio, Bully Ray shared his thoughts on The new Hurt Business. Ray believes that Bobby Lashley will be joining the faction soon. He also suggested that Will Hobbs joins as well. Ray wants the Hurt Business to be the Modern-day version of The Nation of Domination.
“I’m assuming we’re gonna get Bobby, we might get another addition to it, maybe like a [Will] Hobbs, but this new version of The Hurt Business needs to be extremely credible; needs to be extremely feared,” Bully Ray said. “I want to see the modern-day Nation of Domination. Now the Nation of Domination was a bit gimmicky in its inception; Vince McMahon loved gimmicky gimmicks. A bunch of righteous Black men in a group, imposing their will, that’s what I believe this new business of The Hurt Business can be.” [H/T Wrestling INC.]
Ray also was not pleased with Swerve Strickland shoving Benjamin at AEW WrestleDream.
“I don’t want anybody shoving Shelton Benjamin, because Shelton needs to be as feared as Bobby will be.”
