Shelton Benjamin Says MJF Is Out Of Hurt Syndicate On AEW Dynamite
MJF was looking to make some type of ammends with the Hurt Syndicate on AEW Dynamite, but Shelton Benjamin had other plans.
Last Wednesday on AEW Dynamite, Bobby Lashley was fed up with MJF’s words and actions, seemingly disassociating the Hurt Syndicate from MJF.
On the July 30th episode of AEW Dynamite, MJF tried to speak with the Hurt Syndicate, but only Shelton was around. Shelton said that MVP was disgusted with MJF. Shelton then showed the watch MJF gifted him when he tried to get into the Hurt Syndicate, calling it a knock-off from Temu.
Shelton said that Max was out of the Hurt Syndicate and gave him a thumbs down.
Maxwell Jacob Friedman has now gotten a thumbs down from Shelton and Lashley, indicating his removal from the group as all three members must unanimously agree to induct a new member.
AEW World Tag Team Champion @Sheltyb803 made it very clear where MJF stands with The Hurt Syndicate. 👎 👎

Maxwell still has a guaranteed shot at the AEW Championship thanks to his victory in the men’s casino gauntlet at AEW All In. Benjamin & Lashley are the reigning AEW Tag Team Champions.
