MVP Hits BACK At Hurt Syndicate Claims (AEW News)
MVP hits back at claims that The Hurt Syndicate refused to put people over.
Taking to X, AEW star MVP has hit back at claims that the Hurt Syndicate have been difficult to work with in AEW or have outright refused to lose to certain talents.
Such claims resurfaced on social media again over the weekend, including claims that, amongst other things, Bobby Lashley refused to lose to Swerve Strickland, that MVP told Bobby and Shelton Benjamin to say no to losing certain matches, and that MVP has heat backstage.
In a series of X posts, MVP called such talk "BS" and "absolutely untrue".
This is a blatant lie! ABSOLUTELY UNTRUE!!!!! Who is your source????
BULLSHIT!!!!! https://t.co/DkEr30Qdbx— MVP (@The305MVP) October 24, 2026
So I open up Twitter to see lies being reported about The Hurt Syndicate.
BLATANT LIES!!!
Who is the source of these lies?
To the contrary, we wanted to work with younger talent! We wanted to drop the tag titles BACK to Private Party!!!
STOP BELIEVING THE BS!— MVP (@The305MVP) October 24, 2026
Rumor? Nah man. You are absolutely Wrong!!!! None of this is true. But now I know where this whisper campaign is coming from! ? https://t.co/0Bw2yXD8rW— MVP (@The305MVP) October 24, 2026
It's been somewhat of a strange year for the Hurt Syndicate in 2026, having not wrestled once on AEW Dynamite, having had a handful of squash matches on Collision, and most recently teaming with Big Boom AJ and QT Marshall on the All In pre-show back in August.
Of course, 2025 saw Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin hold the AEW Tag Team Titles for 214 days, and the two decimated a whole bunch of tag teams during that run, being positioned as two of the top guys in the entire promotion.
