AEW World Tag Team Champion and Hurt Syndicate member Bobby Lashley spoke with WFAA about various topics, including MJF’s addition to the group.
Lashley said, โThat is a very interesting piece of the puzzle. For me, I have a very small circle, I donโt trust very many people. Over the course of time being with MJF, I never trusted the guy and Iโm still kinda leery, but I see that he does bring a lot of value to what weโre doing right now. Heโs starting to win me over more and more.โ
On how he still wants to punch MJF in the mouth:
โIn the beginning, I just wanted to punch him in his mouth. I still wanna punch him in his mouth from time to time, but I can say that heโs winning me over slowly but surely and I think that he might be a great addition to our group. Itโs something different and thatโs the one thing that we wanted to do, we wanted to bring what we had plus we wanted to bring some flavor of the old school AEW crowd back and since heโs one of the originals, itโs good to bring him in so he can, 1, at least get the rub from us and 2, we can understand what theyโre doing on their end and heโs a voice for them. I think it wins either way.โ
