It was recently reported that Bobby Lashley has been removed from WWE’s internal roster and that the former WWE Champion’s contract is set to expire. It’s believed that Bobby Lashley could be leaving WWE, and it’s also been reported that MVP and Tamina have been removed from the internal roster as well.
Dave Meltzer shared an update on the situation on Wrestling Observer Radio and noted that right now WWE is under the assumption that Lashley and MVP are gone. According to the report some believe that they are going to try and revamp The Hurt Business. The idea is to recruit Shelton Benjamin and reform the group in All Elite Wrestling, but that’s far from a done deal.
“I know that there is talk of them trying to get into AEW. It’s one of those things where technically nobody can talk to them because I don’t believe either’s contract has expired, but their contracts are going to expire and they are, at this point, as things stand right now, WWE is under the assumption that they are gone and that they are going to try to revamp the Hurt Business.
“I don’t know if they’ll use that name or not, I guess it depends on the ownership of the name. They wanna get Shelton Benjamin who’s also a free agent and revamp the group in AEW. Whether this happens or not, it depends on Tony Khan. But it’s definitely something that is under consideration. I don’t think it’s a done deal or anything like that, but it’s something that is alive.
“But as of right now, Bobby Lashley and MVP are both going to be gone from WWE when their contract expires which is relatively soon.”
