One big thing: WWE Hall of Famer Booker T believes The Hurt Business would fare better in TNA than AEW
Booker T, speaking on his “Hall of Fame” podcast, suggested that former WWE stars Bobby Lashley and MVP should consider TNA over AEW for a potential Hurt Business reunion.
Why it matters
• The Hurt Business was a popular stable in WWE, and their potential reunion in a new promotion could shift the wrestling landscape.
• Booker T’s opinion carries weight due to his status as a WWE Hall of Famer and industry veteran.
By the numbers
• Bobby Lashley: Former WWE Champion
• MVP: Former United States Champion
• Both wrestlers’ WWE contracts are reportedly expiring soon
What they’re saying
Booker T on TNA: “It’s not so saturated in TNA where these guys would be seen and highlighted on a weekly basis.”
On AEW: “Of course, they could end up in AEW and of course, they would probably make a whole lot more money.
The big picture
• AEW has faced criticism for its large roster, potentially limiting screen time for talent.
• TNA (formerly IMPACT Wrestling) has a smaller roster, which could offer more opportunities for The Hurt Business to shine.
Yes, but
Booker T acknowledges that AEW might offer more money, stating, “If done right in TNA the money would still be there for them because they could go out and do other projects … I think it’s a win-win situation over there.”
What’s next
As Lashley and MVP’s WWE contracts near their end, fans and industry insiders will be watching closely to see where they land next and if a Hurt Business reunion is in the cards.
