## A Career of Confrontations, But One That Got Away
As the leader of AEW’s dominant faction The Hurt Syndicate, MVP has built his reputation on facing challenges head-on. But during a recent revealing interview, the veteran performer admitted there’s one confrontation he wishes he hadn’t let slip through his fingers.
## The Revelation
During an appearance on “The F Y’all Podcast” alongside Hurt Syndicate stablemate Shelton Benjamin, MVP made a cryptic but pointed reference to a missed opportunity that still weighs on his mind:
> “In my professional career, I have only one regret. There’s one individual, an executive for a wrestling company, that I wish I had slapped the s**t out of when I wanted to, and I never got the chance.”
While MVP carefully avoided naming names, his deliberate pause and Benjamin’s subsequent agreement suggest this mysterious executive left a lasting negative impression on both performers.
## The Hurt Syndicate’s Current Dominance
The timing of this revelation is particularly interesting, as The Hurt Syndicate currently stands at the peak of their power in AEW. With Benjamin and Bobby Lashley holding the AEW Tag Team Championships and the group systematically dismantling opponents like Swerve Strickland and The Outrunners, their “We Hurt People” motto has never rung truer.
## Benjamin Backs His Leader
Notably, when asked the same question about who he’d like to confront, Benjamin echoed his faction leader’s sentiments:
> “There’s no one, except for probably the same person he’s talking about that you know…I wouldn’t mind giving one across the face.”
## Looking Forward
While this unresolved chapter clearly still resonates with both veterans, The Hurt Syndicate’s current trajectory suggests they’ve channeled any past frustrations into building one of AEW’s most formidable factions. But the question remains: Which wrestling executive earned such lasting ire from these respected performers, and will the full story ever come to light?
