Hold onto your wrestling boots, folks! In a year that’s already seen big names like Becky Lynch and Ricochet hit the road, it looks like Bobby Lashley and MVP are next up on the WWE exit express. Recent reports indicate that both superstars have been taken off WWE’s internal roster, and they’re not just packing their bags—they’re eyeing new horizons!
According to the wrestling oracle, Dave Meltzer, from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, it’s almost a done deal that Lashley and MVP will be saying their goodbyes when their contracts expire. One anonymous WWE source revealed that neither man was offered a new deal, while rumors suggest Lashley might have turned down an offer, fueling speculation that their departure is imminent.
So, what’s next for these wrestling powerhouses? Meltzer hints at a tantalizing possibility: the dynamic duo could reunite with fellow free agent Shelton Benjamin to revive The Hurt Business. And where might this wrestling renaissance take place? AEW seems to be the top contender for their new stomping grounds. The Hurt Business breakup left Lashley, MVP, Benjamin, and Cedric Alexander frustrated, and they’re reportedly keen on rekindling that magic—even if they need a new name, since WWE holds the rights to The Hurt Business brand.
While Lashley plans to keep using his real name wherever he lands, MVP’s moniker is shrouded in a bit more mystery, as WWE might own the rights to it since his return. One thing’s for sure: wherever they go, fans can expect a powerhouse performance.
