MJF Ejected From Hurt Syndicate During 7/30 AEW Dynamite

MJF’s status with the Hurt Syndicate just got officially buried—and it went down with a brutal shot at his taste in gifts.

During the July 30 episode of AEW Dynamite at the Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, Illinois, MJF tried to get clarity after last week’s silent thumbs-down from Bobby Lashley. This week, the Salt of the Earth stood outside the Hurt Syndicate’s dressing room, looking for answers.

Instead of a conversation with MVP, MJF was met by Shelton Benjamin, who wasted no time letting him know where things stand. Benjamin informed him, “MVP’s not here tonight.” Then things got personal.

Benjamin brought up a gift MJF had given him—a watch—and hit him with a savage line:
“That watch you gave me… nicest thing I’ve ever seen come from Temu.”

He didn’t stop there. Benjamin slammed the door on the conversation—and MJF’s membership—by telling him, “Kick rocks. You’re out.”

MJF’s time with the Hurt Syndicate is officially over, and the split wasn’t quiet. While this cuts him off from the powerful faction, MJF still holds a guaranteed AEW title shot, which could flip the script on his solo run sooner than later.
