Ever since he lost to “Hangman” Adam Page in AEW Revolution, MJF has decided to pair with the group to regain his AEW World Championship. To that end, he tried to join The Hurt Syndicate, a decision supported by the group’s mouthpiece, MVP, but not supported by AEW World Tag team champions Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin. This was despite MJF’s best efforts, including helping the duo retain titles, bes, party nights and other offers.
Although Lashley and Benjamin are skeptical of MJF, Bishop Dyer, aka former WWE Star Baron Corbin, and not the longtime peer of the former AEW world champion. As revealed while reviewing “Dynamite” last week on “Bust Open Radio,” there’s nothing he sees about MJF joining the negative Hurt Syndicate. In fact, he feels essential to someone like Lashley too.
“If Bobby wants to win a world title, [if] He has a desire. Why not take MJF to a group and learn from him? ” Dyer said. ”[He’s] The one who was there and did it. I think… for me, if I’m a Bob, that’s what I do.
“I welcomed MJF to the group and said, ‘Man, you did it. You were on the mountain I wanted to climb.’ Me…it’s like your quarterback and you’re a backup for four or five years.
