MJF Officially Kicked Out of The Hurt Syndicate

Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite show also featured MJF being officially kicked out of the Hurt Syndicate.

This was initially setup over recent weeks shows over Bobby Lashey and Shelton Benjamin each giving their thumbs down wanting MJF out of the group for different reasons for hating him. During tonight’s show, MJF showed up to interrupt The Hurt Syndicate’s backstage interview with Renee Paquette. This led to Shelton Benjamin and Bobby Lashley walking away. MJF told MVP that with all due respect, MVP only needs him, no one else. MVP responding telling MJF that they hurt people, not MJF. MVP then talked about MJF’s ego being too big and proceeded to give MJF a thumbs down making his removal from the Hurt Syndicate official. MVP then told MJF that he loves him like a little brother. MVP then warned MJF that if he wins the AEW World title, then Lashley is going to go after him and it won’t be business, it will be very personal.

AEW World Tag Team Champions The Hurt Syndicate (@fightbobby and @Sheltyb803) speak out on the tag team landscape, specifically Brodido and FTR.
But all eyes shift as @The_MJF and @The305MVP trade words.
