Tony Khan Confirms Bobby Lashley is All Elite – AEW has made it official: Bobby Lashley has signed with the promotion, marking a significant addition to its roster. AEW President Tony Khan confirmed the news via Twitter on Wednesday, announcing that Lashley is “All Elite.” Lashley will make his first official appearance as part of AEW’s roster by kicking off tonight’s episode of Dynamite alongside The Hurt Syndicate, his new stable with Shelton Benjamin and MVP.
Lashley made his AEW debut just a week prior on Dynamite, where he reunited with former WWE allies Benjamin and MVP. In his debut appearance, he intervened in the main event, where Swerve Strickland had just claimed victory over Benjamin. After the match, Lashley and his stablemates launched a surprise attack on Strickland and Prince Nana. Following the assault, MVP grabbed a microphone and addressed the crowd, stating, “Guess who’s back in business?”—a clear nod to their WWE-era faction, The Hurt Business.
Lashley, who left WWE after his contract expired in August, brings with him an impressive resume as a two-time WWE Champion. His signing bolsters AEW’s ranks with a powerful presence, and his reformed faction with Benjamin and MVP appears poised to make an impact. The AEW fanbase can look forward to seeing how Lashley’s arrival will shape Dynamite and beyond as The Hurt Syndicate steps into the AEW spotlight.
