The Hurt Business has been one of the best factions on WWE TV in the last year or so. It all started when MVP started managing Bobby Lashley in May 2020. The duo then added Shelton Benjamin to the group, officially calling themselves The Hurt Business. A few months later, Cedric Alexander turned heel and joined the faction as well.
The group soon started to dominate on Monday Night RAW, with Benjamin and Alexander winning the RAW Tag Team Championships and Lashley becoming the WWE Champion. However, WWE decided to break them up earlier this year with Bobby Lashley kicking out the former RAW Tag Team Champions.
MVP later clarified that The Hurt Business is still in action and they are looking for new members. Considering the massive success that the faction got in a very short time, it won't be a bad idea to rebuild it again.
Let's take a look at five WWE Superstars who could be a perfect fit for The Hurt Business 2.0. Comment down and let us know your thoughts and opinions on the same. Who do you think should join hands with Bobby Lashley and MVP?
#6 Naomi could become the first female member of The Hurt Business
The Hurt Business so far has only had male members in it, but that might change soon. During an appearance on ESPN's Cheap Heat podcast earlier this year, Bobby Lashley spoke about adding other members to The Hurt Business and named RAW superstar Naomi as someone who could fit in the faction.
Naomi had been teaming up with Lana on RAW over the last few months. With WWE releasing Lana last week, it is to be seen what the plans are for Naomi on the Red brand. Maybe this would be the perfect time for her to join hands with MVP and Bobby Lashley and become a member of The Hurt Business.
#5 Keith Lee could return and join The Hurt Business
Ever since the formation of The Hurt Business, a popular name that the WWE Universe has wanted to see in the faction is Keith Lee. The former NXT Champion hasn't had the best of times on the main roster, mostly due to inconsistent booking followed by his current unexplained absence from WWE TV for several months.
Lee impressed everyone during his time on NXT and certainly has the potential to be a future world champion on the main roster. Last year, we saw Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin get their careers on track by joining The Hurt Business. Could this work for Keith Lee as well?
Lee was originally supposed to beat Bobby Lashley for the United States Championship at WWE Elimination Chamber 2021 but he was pulled from the show due to an injury. Instead of him, Riddle won the match and the title.
There are currently no reports on when Keith Lee will return to WWE TV, but when he eventually does, he might decide to join Bobby Lashley and MVP in The Hurt Business.
#4 and #3 The Street Profits could be recruited into The Hurt Business by MVP
A recent photo uploaded by MVP on his Instagram with The Street Profits led to speculation among fans about whether he was teasing adding the two superstars to The Hurt Business. Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford, also known as The Street Profits, have been a popular tag team throughout their WWE careers.
The two have had their chances to shine on the main roster, winning both the RAW and SmackDown Tag Team Championships once. However, it might be time for them to change things up before their character becomes stale. An interesting idea would be to turn heel and join hands with MVP and Bobby Lashley in The Hurt Business.
While the two are currently on Friday Night SmackDown, WWE could always move them over to Monday Night RAW in the coming months, possibly during the rumored WWE Draft 2021 after SummerSlam. Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford joining The Hurt Business could possibly also lead to one of them starting to compete as an individual superstar later on.
#2 Kofi Kingston could turn heel and join The Hurt Business
This week on Monday Night RAW, WWE seemingly teased a heel turn from Kofi Kingston and him possibly joining The Hurt Business. The former WWE Champion was involved in a backstage segment where MVP told him how special KofiMania was but it was Kingston himself who let it end, becoming comfortable with losing.
"KofiMania was everything...then it abruptly ended. Last week I caught a glimpse of that Kofi Kingston that could once again become WWE Champion. Then I saw you shake Drew McIntyre's hand and you became comfortable being a loser! KofiMania ended because you let it," said MVP to Kofi Kingston.
Kofi Kingston is a WWE veteran and extremely talented star. While The New Day is a massively successful faction, it could be time for him to move on and try something new.
Kingston turning heel and joining The Hurt Business could open up new opportunities for him. The Hurt Business definitely has the potential to be a faction that the fans would remember for years to come and the addition of Kofi Kingston would definitely benefit it.
#1 Sasha Banks could move to RAW and join The Hurt Business
Arguably the unlikeliest yet most exciting of all the entries mentioned in this list of superstars who could join The Hurt Business is Sasha Banks. One of the four horsewomen of WWE, Banks has already had a very successful career in WWE, winning multiple titles on NXT, RAW, and SmackDown.
Sasha Banks is one of those few stars on the current roster who have excelled both as a babyface and as a heel. It was in the main event of Night One of WrestleMania 37 where she lost her SmackDown Women's Championship to the winner of the 2021 women's Royal Rumble match Bianca Belair.
Sasha Banks has been away from TV for a while now but WWE is advertising her for the July 16th episode of Friday Night SmackDown.
There are chances that she could be moved over to Monday Night RAW in the rumored draft later this year. If that happens, WWE would have an interesting opportunity in their hands to make her the first female member of The Hurt Business.
"The Legit Boss of The Hurt Business" just sounds so right. We have seen The Hurt Business hold the world title and the tag team titles, maybe Sasha Banks could be the one who wins the women's title as part of the faction.
