MVP and Lashley were joined by Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin as members of The Hurt Business last year. As part of the storyline, MVP also tried to recruit Crews and Ricochet but neither superstar ended up joining the group.
Lashley discussed the formation of The Hurt Business on the latest episode of Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Sessions show. The WWE Champion said he “really wanted” Crews to align with the group, but WWE’s higher-ups decided against the idea.
The Hurt Business now consists only of Bobby Lashley and MVP. In March 2021, Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin were kicked out of the group two weeks before Lashley’s WrestleMania 37 match against Drew McIntyre.

Lashley said the group’s storyline attempts to recruit Alexander, along with Apollo Crews and Ricochet, were real. WWE’s decision-makers then had the final say on which superstars would eventually join The Hurt Business.
