Just a reminder in case you were wondering: Yes, the Hurt Business still are the Raw Tag Team Champions right now.

You might be confused after watching Shelton Benjamin get small-packaged and pinned in a pedestrian match against Xavier Woods, which came a week after he and Cedric Alexander were manhandled by Braun Strowman. The duo only won that match when Adam Pearce slipped on a banana peel and got small-packaged himself.

So the good news is that Alexander & Benjamin are no longer in a stupid “they’re not on the same page” feud. The bad news is that they’re getting embarrassed weekly while stablemate Bobby Lashley is holding the WWE Championship.

Because reasons.
