It's been almost two months since MVP made his AEW debut at Grand Slam and began his mission to form the Hurt Syndicate, recruiting two former members from the Hurt Business in WWE, with Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin both joining the company in October. The Hurt Business made a name for themselves four years ago by winning multiple titles while being one of the most feared factions in WWE, and it seems that MVP will be looking to keep that mentality the same for theHurt Syndicate. Speaking with Renee Paquette on "AEW Close-Up," MVP laid out what theHurt Syndicate's goals will be moving forward, and expressed his satisfaction towards the AEW roster not being pleased that they joined the company.
