Over the next couple of years, the members of the faction all moved on to different endeavors. MVP began managing Omos and Lashley briefly joined up with the Street Profits to form The Pride, while Benjamin and Alexander continued teaming for a time.
Benjamin was released from his WWE contract in 2023, while Alexander was sidelined without much to do. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, MVP was attempting to convince Lashley to not sign a new contract with WWE so they could reunite the core trio somewhere else. He must’ve made a strong argument, as both MVP and Lashley departed WWE when their contracts ended in the summer of 2024. A few months later, The Hurt Syndicate was (re)born, and they’d go on to win the AEW World Tag Team Championship at the beginning of 2025.
Much of the trio’s success can be credited to a real bond between MVP, Lashley, and Benjamin, dating back to their shared time inside and outside WWE. That relationship lends an undeniable chemistry to the group, and it’s something that AEW seems to have capitalized on.
