"I'm picking Bobby Lashley all day long," Prinze Jr. said. "The Hurt [Syndicate] is fresh and new. I understand there's going to be some bias there, but this is going to be the best storyline that AEW has. They have one of the best wrestlers in the world with Bobby Lashley. Paul Heyman is not an active manager right now, so let me preface by saying that, but the best manager in the game right now is MVP. His mic work, his ability to put guys over and talk big about guys and be a threat for dudes that don't need to talk on the microphone is second to none."
Prinze Jr. went on to sayt that he's glad to see Lashley wrestling again and was frustrated when WWE wasn't using him on their programming near the end of his run. He also believes The Hurt Syndicate should quickly move towards capturing the AEW World Championship.
