Bobby Lashley isn't ruling out a grand return for The Hurt Business.

The reigning WWE Champion told Metro that there are "lots of guys" catching his eye right now. Several of those would be perfect for a spot in some revamped version of THB, and Lashley knows it. He teased fans by suggesting the faction "might open [back] up" again soon.

WWE creative decided to chip away at the Lashley/MVP-ruled gimmick by removing ex-Hurt Business members Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander from their side earlier this year. Since then, the only real reference to the stable has been that "THB" bling around Porter's neck.

Bobby has started talking about the group again though, which is promising. Few fans were happy when WWE split the old quartet in the first place, and there is a sense that some on the roster could use a similar rub to the one Benjamin and Alexander received.

Lashley seems keenly aware of that too, but also said it's important for him to "focus on me for a little while". Previously, Bob had been talking about adding a female member to THB.
