The Hurt Syndicate has been a dominant force ever since its formation in AEW. With MVP, Bobby Lashley, and Shelton Benjamin already being the top members of the group, MJF was recently announced as the official member of the faction as well. Meanwhile, former United States Champion, Carlito, could also be introduced as the fifth member.

While Carlito is currently signed with WWE, it was recently reported that his contract is coming up and will not be renewed. Ahead of his exit from the Stamford-based promotion, Shelton Benjamin recently shared a picture with Carlito on social media, hinting at his addition to The Hurt Syndicate.

Carlito was a part of the Judgment Day faction for months and was trying to fit in with the group. The aforementioned scenario can be repeated with Carlito trying to fit in with the Hurt Syndicate.

It could bring about a comedic angle to The Hurt Syndicate, helping them add more depth to their on-screen personas, considering Carlito's amazing comic skills. It will be interesting to see if Carlito will be going All Elite following his expected departure from the Stamford-based promotion.
