The Hurt Syndicate is an American professional wrestling stable in All Elite Wrestling (AEW). The group consists of Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, and MVP, who serves as their manager and occasional trios partner.
Lashley, Benjamin, and MVP (joined by Cedric Alexander) previously performed in WWE from 2020 to 2022, where they were known as The Hurt Business. The stable was the center point of the ThunderDome era during the COVID-19 pandemic. The group held four different championships seven times, with Lashley holding the WWE and United States Championships while Alexander and Benjamin held the Raw Tag Team Championship once and the 24/7 Championship four times; Benjamin held it three times and Alexander held it once. The group was gradually disbanded after Lashley and MVP left the group in early 2022, but Alexander and Benjamin continued to function as a tag team under The Hurt Business name until that August. In October 2024, MVP, Lashley, and Benjamin reformed the group in AEW as The Hurt Syndicate. In January 2025, Benjamin and Lashley would go to win the AEW World Tag Team Championship. In May 2025, MJF joined the group but left that August.
