WWE Raw included some big teasers so we’ll see what’s going on with Bobby Lashley,
Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, and more
Let’s start things off with the latest updates to Bobby Lashley’s story
So last time we talked about Bobby Lashley, we went over how his recent actions made Adam
Pearce fire him during Raw within the story
Adam Pearce reversed that decision twelve hours later through social media, but still
promised to meet with Bobby Lashley to discuss the repercussions
This storyline continued in a very subtle way during the December 19th edition of Raw
that had majority of fans really excited
Adam Pearce gets approached by MVP backstage
MVP says that he wants to speak to Adam Pearce about Bobby Lashley’s status and everything
that’s been going on there
But before the conversation can really start, Adam Pearce had to go take care of an emergency,
which was The Bloodline’s attack on the Raw superstars
MVP and Adam Pearce didn’t pick that conversation back up for the rest of the show, basically
leaving that part of the story at a cliffhanger
The idea of MVP wanting to discuss Bobby Lashley’s status is a very intriguing scenario that
can lead us down many different routes
Everyone knows about the recent history that MVP and Bobby Lashley shared
When Bobby Lashley was goofing around and not taking things that seriously with Lana
by his side, it was MVP who convinced Lashley to dump Lana over to the side and start taking
his career seriously again
MVP convinced him to leave Lana and to come with him because he’ll get him that WWE
world title that he had never won at the time
A few months later, MVP and Bobby Lashley were still going around recruiting talent
to join them
That’s when they came across Shelton Benjamin and Cedic Alexander
They welcomed those two in with open arms and that officially marked the formation of
The Hurt Business
The Hurt Business captured a lot of gold and had a lot of success together
MVP actually achieved his goal of getting Bobby Lashley to the WWE title, but it was
shortly after Bobby Lashley’s WWE title win where WWE decided to split up the Hurt
Business
However, Bobby Lashley and MVP would end up sticking together and continuing their success
until they went through a breakup storyline themselves
So last time we really saw Bobby Lashley and MVP interacting with each other in the ring,
they were in opposite corners with MVP sending Omos after Bobby Lashley
And we last saw of that duo, MVP and Omos are still very much paired up
So the fact that MVP wants to discuss things related to Bobby Lashley is interesting because
what route are they going in here?
Does MVP feel bad for his former business partner and wants to look out for him again?
Or is MVP still against Bobby Lashley?
Those are the big questions here
Fans also noticed that some of the superstars that were beatdown by The Bloodline on Raw
includes former Hurt Business members, Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander
So now when you take that fact into consideration and put all these pieces of the puzzle together,
some fans are wondering if WWE could be teasing the reunion of The Hurt Business
WWE has hinted at and teased a reunion for The Hurt Business several times over the last
few years, but they never fully gave us that reunion any of those times that they teased
it
So we’ve been here before many times, but is this the actual time where they will go
through with the reunion for The Hurt Business?
Plus, MVP and Omos haven’t had any real issues lately, so would Omos also join along
as a new member for The Hurt Business
All of the Hurt Business members haven’t been on the same page in recent memory, but
maybe all of them having the new common enemy of The Bloodline is what pushes them back
together
Could this lead towards The Bloodline versus The Hurt Business?
There’s a lot of reunions going on right now in WWE, just look at Alexa Bliss and Bray
Wyatt, so if they wanna throw in another reunion with The Hurt Business, the fans wouldn’t
mind at all
So keep paying attention to what MVP has to say because it looks like this could all be
leading towards something big
——————————
As everyone remembers, Big-E tragically went out of action with a near career ending neck
injury in March 2022
It was an extremely scary moment to watch back.
He had to be stretchered out of the arena and some fans had initially feared that he’ll
never wrestle again
Well luckily everything has been going smoothly in the recovering process
Big-E came out of his neck brace a few months ago and has been continuing his recovery ever
since
He recently spoke with These Urban Times and had this to say regarding his injury and where
he currently stands for a return to the ring, quote:
“I have to get some more scans at the one-year mark in March, and then we’ll see how everything’s
looking, but we’ll see from there.
My C1 is broken in two spots, so I obviously would be very smart about that.
I was very fortunate, so I just want to make sure I’m making the best decision for myself,
so we’ll see in March.”
End quote
So telling by his comments, it looks like those upcoming additional scans towards the
one year mark of the injury will determine where Big-E stands for a return to action
So expect the next huge update for Big-E’s status the come within the first few months
of 2023

Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens shared another short, but heavy moment together during the December
19th edition of Raw
In the closing moments of the show, the ring had cleared out of all the competitors and
only Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn were left standing in the ring with each other
Although Sami seemed ready to go and ready to fight Kevin Owens, it was Kevin who untaped
his hands and refused to fight Sami
So Sami ended up rolling out of the ring after Kevin Owens took the tape off
And a lot of fans were curious about the meaning and significance of Kevin Owens taking the
tape off his hands in front of Sami Zayn
What was he implying by doing that?
Well a lot of fans think that was Kevin Owens’ way of basically putting his weapon down.
He took the tape and protection off of his hands to show Sami Zayn that he didn’t want
to place a single finger on him
So it is impressive for Kevin Owens to continue to take the high road and try to be the bigger
man and still try to keep that peace there between himself and Sami Zayn
Especially after what Sami did to him at War-Games, Kevin Owens has every right to come after
Sami Zayn and brutally beat him down, but he’s choosing not to
So that’s a big theme that’s going on not only on Kevin Owens’ side, but also
on Sami Zayn’s side too
Like when Sami Zayn slipped up and still referred to Kevin Owens as a friend in front of The
Bloodline
Just all of these quick little moments that show that Sami and Kevin are still somewhat
peaceful with each other despite everything that’s going on around them
Kevin Owens refuses to put his hands on Sami Zayn, and Sami still looks at Kevin Owens
as his best friend
It’s not like they’re both beating each other up with every opportunity they get.
They’re actually doing the opposite and trying to make peace with every opportunity
they get
Of course, it’s no secret at all about what the payoff will be here for this situation
The payoff will be Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens officially reuniting for the first time in
several years as a tag team to turn around and go get revenge on The Bloodline for everything
that they put both Sami and Kevin Owens through
So it should just be a few more months until that big payoff starts coming into play
