Bobby Lashley has publicly refuted claims of being sidelined by injury, stating emphatically, “Everybody thought I was hurt, I’m not hurt. You can’t hurt the All Mighty.” This declaration comes as Lashley expresses a clear intention to compete for the AEW World Trios Championships alongside his stablemates, MVP and Shelton Benjamin, collectively known as The Hurt Syndicate. The group, which has not previously held these particular titles, appears poised for a return to the ring with a focused objective on acquiring championship gold.

Lashley’s comments, originating from a February interview at the For the Love of Wrestling convention, suggest a collective drive within The Hurt Syndicate. “They’re yanking me back in,” he remarked, indicating a renewed impetus for competition. While acknowledging a potential personal interest in facing MJF, the current AEW World Champion, due to past associations with his former stablemate, Lashley emphasized the priority of team objectives. “We want to do things as a group,” he stated, steering the narrative away from individual pursuits towards the collective ambition of winning the trios belts.
