MVP Reveals He & Shelton Benjamin Recently Signed Extensions With AEW

The Hurt Syndicate are here to stay in AEW.

With Bobby Lashley having been sidelined in late 2025, The Hurt Syndicate has largely been absent from All Elite Wrestling for the majority of 2026 thus far. While there has yet to be an update on plans for the group’s return, confirmation has now emerged that two thirds of the trio have committed their futures to AEW.

During an appearance on Your Entertainment Escape, MVP revealed that both he and his fellow The Hurt Syndicate stablemate Shelton Benjamin recently signed contract extensions to remain with All Elite Wrestling.

“Just know that the Hurt Syndicate is not going anywhere. As a matter of fact, Shelton and I signed contract extensions not that long ago, so we’ll be around kicking ass and not even bothering to take names for some time to come.”

Whilst the pair have committed their futures to All Elite Wrestling, details regarding Bobby Lashley’s contract status remain sparse, with fans awaiting the return of ‘The Almighty’.

MVP recently claimed that The Hurt Syndicate has been discussing adding a new member to the group. You can read more about that here.

As always, we’ll aim to provide any further updates on future plans for The Hurt Syndicate as soon as we hear more.
