Shelton Benjamin Says Kevin Knight Would Fit The Hurt Syndicate

Shelton Benjamin believes Kevin Knight would be a great addition to The Hurt Syndicate in AEW.

Since reforming as The Hurt Syndicate in All Elite Wrestling following a successful run in WWE as The Hurt Business, MVP, Bobby Lashley, and Shelton Benjamin have made it no secret that they are searching for a fourth member, and one rising AEW star appears to be high on the group’s wishlist.

Speaking to The Wrestling Classic, Shelton Benjamin was asked about the possibility of Kevin Knight joining The Hurt Syndicate and appeared to be very open to the idea.

“Absolutely, no question. Straight up yes. Absolutely. If it were my choice today, if I said I wanted a new member in The Hurt Syndicate, The Hurt Syndicate wants a fourth member, without a doubt my first pick would be Cedric Alexander. My second pick would be Kevin ‘Jet’ Knight.”

Kevin Knight captured the AEW TNT Championship on April 12 at AEW Dynasty and has since successfully defended the title against Claudio Castagnoli, MJF, Hook, and Brian Cage, while also keeping one eye on the AEW World Championship as he looks for even greater success.

The Hurt Syndicate, meanwhile, are set to team with Chris Jericho, Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks, and Jack Perry as they take on The Demand, The Dogs, Andrade El Idolo, and Mark Davis in a Stadium Stampede match at AEW Double or Nothing on Sunday, May 24 in Queens.
