Prior to the show, AEW had advertised that Rhino would be making appearances on this week’s AEW and ROH tapings due to this week’s shows taking place in his hometown of Detroit.

Bobby Lahsley to Give MJF His Answer to Hurt Syndicate Membership Decision at Next Week’s Dynamite Show

Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite show also featured Bobby Lashley announcing that he will give his decision to MJF’s Hurt Syndicate membership offer at next week’s Dynamite Beach Break 2025 show.

This decision was setup over recent weeks shows over MJF trying to become an official member of the Hurt Syndicate and winning over MJF and Shelton Benjamin but not Lashley. During last week’s show, Lashley told MJF that if he wants his thumbs up approval, then he needs to start hurting people.

During tonight’s show, the Hurt Syndicate came out and issued an open challenge to anyone in the AEW locker room looking to get hurt. This led to Top Flight coming out to answer the challenge and after some words by Darius & Dante Martin, MJF ran out and attacked both of them and laid them out at ringside. MJF then got into the ring and went up to Lashley’s face yelling that he hurts people. Lashley responded grabbing the microphone and told MJF that he will give his official decision on MJF’s membership status at next week’s show.

"I. HURT. PEOPLE." – MJF
