The July 23 episode of AEW Dynamite went down at the Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, Illinois. MJF’s time with the Hurt Syndicate also started to show some real cracks this week.
During AEW Dynamite this week, it was revealed that Cope hired the Hurt Syndicate to help him fight off FTR. After all, Adam Copeland is banned from touching Dax and Cash.
Later on, MJF seemingly had an issue with the Hurt Syndicate working with Cope. He argued that it took him months to get the thumbs up, and he didn’t think a Cope team was a good idea.
At that point, Bobby Lashley erupted at MJF. He told the Salt of the Earth that he wants him out of the faction. At that point, Shelton Benjamin and MVP also left without saying anything to MJF.
The whole time, MJF tried to talk to the Hurt Syndicate about this decision. Nothing was made official, but Lashley, the man who was the last to give MJF a thumbs up, has now been the first to declare he should be out of the faction.
Only time will tell what happens next, but MJF’s story in AEW is not over by a long shot. This Hurt Syndicate drama is certainly interesting.
What’s your take on this new development for MJF? Is he better off on his own? Let us know what you think in the comments section!
