Mark Henry: Powerhouse Hobbs ‘Tailor Made’ for AEW’s Hurt Syndicate

One big thing: Mark Henry sees Powerhouse Hobbs as perfect fit for The Hurt Syndicate

Former AEW producer Mark Henry believes Powerhouse Hobbs would be an ideal addition to the emerging Hurt Syndicate faction in AEW, led by MVP and Shelton Benjamin.

Why it matters

• The Hurt Syndicate is gaining momentum as a formidable faction in AEW
• Adding Hobbs could strengthen their position against other powerful groups like the Blackpool Combat Club
• This move could spark a major faction war reminiscent of classic wrestling rivalries

By the numbers

• Hobbs has been sidelined since April due to a severe leg injury
• The Hurt Syndicate currently consists of MVP and Shelton Benjamin
• The Blackpool Combat Club boasts 5 members, including the AEW World Champion and World Trios Champions

What they’re saying

Henry on “Busted Open Radio“: “I think that [Powerhouse] Hobbs is tailor made for the Hurt Syndicate. Recruit him, bring him in, and tell him ‘Look, you might be facing one of us. We want to dominate the business, we want to corner the market.'”

The big picture

Henry envisions a potential rivalry between an expanded Hurt Syndicate and the Blackpool Combat Club, drawing comparisons to the iconic DX vs. Nation of Domination feud.

What’s next

• Hobbs’ return to AEW television following his injury
• Potential recruitment efforts by both The Hurt Syndicate and Blackpool Combat Club
• Bobby Lashley’s rumored involvement with The Hurt Syndicate
