MVP formed 'The Hurt Syndicate' faction in AEW alongside Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin right after their debut. The group has been dominating the roster for the past several months as the World Tag Team Champions. However, things could take a shift after top AEW star, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, becomes the new leader of the group.

MJF joined the faction a few months back after weeks of teasing. However, he had a little fallout with the group in a backstage segment on Dynamite last week. After Max complained about the Syndicate not helping him enough, Lashley had had enough and put him in his place, saying he wants Max out of the faction by giving him a thumbs down.

While it may look like MJF could be out of the Hurt Syndicate, he might be planning a swerve instead. The Salt of the Earth could manage to convince MVP and Shelton Benjamin to stay by his side, as only Bobby wants him out of the group.

Following the dissension in the group, MVP may reveal MJF as the new leader of 'The Hurt Syndicate' after kicking Bobby Lashley out. It will be a massive swerve that will make the storyline more intriguing.
