Cedric Alexander Says AEW Reunion With The Hurt Syndicate Might Be “Meant To Be” After WWE Exit

Cedric Alexander is leaving the door wide open for a major reunion with his former Hurt Business crew—but this time, in AEW.

During his recent appearance on Knockouts and 3 Counts, the former WWE star admitted that seeing MVP and Shelton Benjamin show up in All Elite Wrestling made him second-guess his last WWE deal. He shared that he had serious regrets about re-signing before being released from the company.

“My immediate thought when I — so, when I even realized MVP showed up at AEW and then Shelton I was like, ‘Ah, man. I shouldn’t have re-signed that last contract, huh?’ That was something I had dreamed of doing so I was like, ‘Aw man, should I have really re-signed that last contract?’ I was like, ‘Ah, it’d be fun. It’ll work out.’ If it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be kind of thing…”

When WWE cut him loose, the idea of joining up with his former allies became real. But there’s a new wildcard in the mix—MJF.

Alexander acknowledged that Maxwell Jacob Friedman is currently involved with MVP and the group, but he’s not buying the act.

“Then I realized that MJF is trying to make his way in there. I was like, ‘Alright, well — let it play out. Let it play out. I’m sure they’ll get tired of his shenanigans because he’s MJF. Of course, he’s gonna screw everything up. You know how he works. He’s gonna get the big head, like he always does — MVP trusts him for a little bit so I’m like, alright, cool, whatever — I don’t trust him. You know why? Because he has a scarf.”

Whether Alexander officially joins The Hurt Syndicate in AEW is still unknown, but his words make it clear he’s ready for it if the call comes.
