"Lashley's downfall needs to be studied" - Fans brutally troll Hurt Syndicate after massive botch at recent AEW show

The Hurt Syndicate is one of the most dominant tag teams AEW has to offer. They currently hold the AEW World Tag Team Championship, and it doesn't seem like they will be losing the gold soon. After being tired of waiting for contenders, MVP recently laid out a challenge, which was answered by Mike Bailey, Kevin Knight, and Mascara Dorada.

MJF, Bobby Lashley, and Shelton Benjamin wrestled the trio at the recent Summer Blockbuster special episode. It was a great contest in which the promising stars were elevated and their immense talent was showcased. Despite their best efforts, The Hurt Syndicate emerged victorious in the end.

Unfortunately, a clip from the bout that has been making the rounds on social media has drawn some criticism. A series of botches occurred when Mike Bailey and Kevin Knight tried to establish control over Bobby and Shelton during the match.
