Bobby Lashley has grown frustrated with MJF’s involvement in the Hurt Syndicate, a tension highlighted in the July 23rd episode of AEW Dynamite. During the show, it was revealed that Adam Copeland had brought the Hurt Syndicate on board to help counter FTR, but the Rated R Superstar members aren’t allowed to physically confront Dax Harwood or Cash Wheeler.
Despite this, MJF opted out of the trip and voiced his annoyance over the months-long wait to get approval for the syndicate, questioning whether forming the team under Copeland was the right decision.
Lashley’s frustration boiled over as he demanded MJF’s removal from the faction, especially after Shelton Benjamin and MVP quietly left following a recent dispute. Once MJF’s staunchest supporter, Lashley is now the first to call for his ousting, putting MJF’s place in the faction at serious risk.
Fan Take: This development is crucial for AEW fans as it signals potential major shifts within the Hurt Syndicate, creating new storylines and rivalries. MJF’s standing in the faction could redefine his character’s trajectory and impact the overall faction dynamics, adding fresh intrigue to AEW programming.
