Cedric Alexander recently shared updates regarding a possible reunion with his former stablemates, MVP, Bobby Lashley, and Shelton Benjamin. Since his WWE release in February, there have been rumors linking Alexander to a move to AEW and a revival of The Hurt Syndicate, formerly known as The Hurt Business. However, Alexander’s transition to TNA wrestling has raised questions about whether he still envisions teaming up with MVP, Lashley, and Benjamin.
In an interview with Muscleman Malcolm, Alexander expressed that while joining TNA is a chance to showcase his individual talent, he still hopes to reunite with The Hurt Syndicate eventually. He remarked on the idea of going back to the group as something natural and hinted confidently that “when the time comes, the band will come back together.”
Though a full reunion may not be on the immediate horizon, Alexander and Shelton Benjamin are set to team up for the first time since September 2023 at an upcoming independent event. After debuting at TNA Slammiversary with a loss to Mustafa Ali, Alexander will have a chance to challenge for the TNA X-Division Championship against Leon Slater at TNA Emergence on August 15th.
Fan Take: This potential alliance rekindles excitement for AEW fans, as Cedric Alexander’s journey highlights how wrestlers navigate opportunities across promotions while keeping the door open for iconic faction reunions. It underscores the dynamic nature of the sport and the possibility of fresh storylines that could reshape wrestling’s landscape.
