10 WWE & AEW Wrestlers Who DESPERATELY Need A New Direction

9. The Hurt Business

Watching MVP interact with Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin backstage on a recent RAW episode elicited mixed feelings from this writer. On the one hand, it was great seeing The Hurt Business on-screen together. On the other, it was a reminder of how frustrating their break-up was in the first place.

Absolutely no-one wanted to see the The Hurt Business go their separate ways, and its safe to say their separation benefited no one whose name didn't rhyme with Gobby Rashly. Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander were particularly hard-done-by, going from Tag Team Champions to Missing In Action.

Which is ridiculous, as Shelton and Cedric would be a shot in the arm for any tag division on the planet. Both are fantastic in-ring workers (we can't be the only ones who remember Cedric's incredible run as Cruiserweight Champion, right?), and given adequate build-up The Hurt Business would be credible contenders to knock the Usos off their perch at this year's WrestleMania. Particularly with MVP as their cornerman, who could feasibly cut off any of the Bloodline's trademark shenanigans.

Reforming The Hurt Business would right one of WWE Creative's most egregious wrongs, give two excellent workers the chance to shine in the spotlight, and put the always-entertaining MVP back on television.

And while we're on the subject of rebuilding factions...
