10 Wrestlers Likely To Miss WWE WrestleMania 38

4. The Hurt Business

You know the old cliché, about the guy who never spiritually left high school?

Is that the Hurt Business?

Is that the gimmick being played by Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin currently?

Because Bobby Lashley has told them to f*ck off and knocked their d*cks in the dirt on several occasions at this point. The stable no longer exists. Do they just quite like the sound of the name, and decided to carry it with them into the tag team division?

See, that would make a decent amount of sense. The black and gold branding looks big-time, the name has a certain cult prestige amongst the Fedpilled. But back in 2021, MVP stated on Twitter that the Hurt Business was comprised of just him and Lashley following the first of two (?) dissolutions.

But Alexander and Benjamin still seem to think they're in the Hurt Business. They keep trying to reform it. The whole thing is bizarre. The history of the WCW International World Title is easier to decode than this sh*t.

What's certain is that Alexander and Benjamin aren't likely to make WrestleMania in any meaningful capacity. Business is hardly booming; they are used as total jobbers in 2022.
