This week's episode of WWE RAW saw the formation of MVP's new faction Hurt Business. MVP and Bobby Lashley were joined by Shelton Benjamin as the third member of the faction. We saw MVP and Bobby Lashley approach R-Truth and they told him that he would be going to the ring with them. When Truth denied their offer and turned around, Shelton Benjamin hit him with a Superkick and pinned him to win the title.
The trio then headed to the ring to face Ricochet and Cedric Alexander who were then joined by the returning Mustafa Ali. Although Hurt Business lost on the night, we can see them becoming a force to be reckoned with, if booked well. Later on in the night, Ron Simmons also appeared with them in a segment and Hurt Business is giving off some strong Nation of Domination vibes.
This got us thinking about other WWE Superstars who could join MVP's new faction and we came up with 6 Superstars who could. Read on for the full list.
#6 Ricochet
We start our list off with one of the Superstars who Hurt Business is feuding with right now - Ricochet.
Ricochet is someone who MVP has already tried to recruit for his faction only to be turned down. He teamed up with Cedric Alexander and the returning Mustafa Ali to beat Hurt Business in their first official match on WWE RAW.
Ricochet hasn’t really had any great storylines to sink his teeth into since moving to the main roster despite his obvious excellence as a performer. A heel turn could be the best thing for Ricochet, and if WWE have Hurt Business continue their feud with Ricochet, Ali and Cedric, we could potentially have Ricochet turn on his friends to join MVP’s faction.
#5 and 4 Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins - The Street Profits
The Street Profits were one of the most popular tag-teams in WWE NXT when they were called up to the main roster in July 2019. However, for their first few months on RAW, they were used a lot more in backstage segments instead of in the ring. The duo have done an excellent job since then, becoming one of the most popular tag-teams on the red brand and are currently the RAW Tag-Team Champions.
With MVP and Shelton Benjamin holding championship gold, they could look to bring in the current RAW Tag-Team Champions to bolster the group and add more gold to their ranks.
Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins are babyfaces now, so they would have to turn heel to do so. With WWE still taking place behind closed doors for the near future, this could be a good time to see how Ford and Dawkins do as heels.
They could also learn a lot from the experienced MVP. As for Hurt Business, adding two exciting young stars like Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford will bring even more credibility for the group.
#3 Bianca Belair
We move on to the EST of NXT, Bianca Belair. Belair is one of the most talented women to come out of the WWE Performance Center in recent years. Despite never getting her hands on the NXT Women's Championship, Belair showed that she can hang with the best on the black and yellow brand before her recent call up to RAW. She made her main roster debut on the RAW after WrestleMania 36, coming out to the aid of the Street Profits.
Belair has already shown she can be a great heel and could be a great addition to Hurt Business if they are looking for a female member. Belair has what it takes to rise to the top of the RAW Women's Division and having Hurt Business and MVP at her side can only help her, not only on-screen but also as an overall performer.
MVP has already shown in recent weeks that his promos are right up there, and this is something that Belair can perfect under his guidance.
#2 Samoa Joe
Samoa Joe has had a lot of bad luck during his WWE run, especially in recent months due to numerous injury issues. These include the freak concussion he suffered while filming an ad for WWE. Bad luck indeed.
Joe is currently on the commentary desk on RAW, doing a fantastic job, but we want to see him back in the ring as soon as he’s healthy. Joe is just the kind of deadly Superstar that Hurt Business need. If anyone can bring the hurt, it’s Samoa Joe.
Joe is still at the top of his game, and needs a proper storyline to sink his teeth into. If he joins Hurt Business on his return from injury, he would make the group even more of a force. The group is already giving off Nation of Domination vibes and if they were to add more members to their roster, Samoa Joe should be one of the names at the top of their list.
Of course, this would also have to account for how much longer Joe will take to return to action.
#1 Keith Lee
The Superstar who should be on the top of MVP’s list of possible recruits for Hurt Business should be current WWE NXT Champion and NXT North American Champion Keith Lee. Lee already introduced himself to fans of the main roster at Survivor Series last year with an excellent performance in the men’s Survivor Series match. Having Lee join Hurt Business would be a great way to get him ready for his call-up to the main roster.
Keith Lee joining Hurt Business could also be a way for the faction to be on NXT intermittently. A potential storyline involving RAW and NXT could also be a great way to get more eyeballs on NXT to help in the ratings battle with AEW on Wednesday nights.
Keith Lee has everything it takes to be a top guy and is surprisingly agile for someone of his size. With experienced and seasoned veterans like MVP, Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin at his side, and if WWE play their cards right, Keith Lee can cement himself as WWE next big star.
LMAO. Check out who just called Becky Lynch 'tiny' RIGHT HERE
