Big E just won the WWE Championship and celebrated with his New Day stablemates, and he can already see a point where they head into battle together against The Hurt Business.
Big E spoke with Complex about his title win, as well as the fact that former champion Bobby Lashley will be gunning for him soon. He says he knows Lashley will probably need some backup and hopes it results in getting The Hurt Business back together.
“Oh yeah, man. The first thought that comes to mind is The Hurt Business. I want to see them back. I want to see them together. Man, just the opportunity to go out there. The story is already there. The history is there, but I beat Bobby, and now Bobby needs to back up and [get] his two cast-off brothers back again. I got two brothers of my own. There are so many opportunities. And, same thing, I look over at SmackDown, it’s Roman and The Bloodline. I am someone who loves that. You look at The Hurt Business, you look at The Bloodline, and those that might be in those two great, incredible passions with really talented performers. But imagine The Hurt Business coming back together to do battle with The New Day. All kinds of incarnations; singles matches, tag matches. Man, there’s so much that we can do there.
“So that’s the first order of business. I saw Cedric’s tweet, too, and I sent him the “mount up.” Let him know: bring your boys, get the troop together, because that’s what I want. And I don’t think Bobby is ready to go quietly into that good night. I think he’s got some more fighting. So I want to see him with his troop, and let’s get this thing cracking again.”
The Hurt Business originally consisted of Lashley, MVP, Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin, but the group split up leading into WrestleMania 37. MVP previously said the group was still in business and said he’d been in talks with “an old acquaintance” this week, and Lashley has been open to bringing the group back, but it remains to be seen if they’ll get back together on WWE TV.
