This is mostly rumours and innuendo, and no source seems to have the full story, but here is what I could piece together
  • Hurt Syndicate have refused to put over both FTR and JetSpeed on various occasions this year
  • FTR was suggested at both All In and Forbidden Door, rejected both times
  • MVP has rejected the idea of HS losing to JetSpeed out of hand (even though it wasn't mentioned before) due to his personal dislike for Speedball
  • They'd prefer to lose it to a "younger team" but all the teams they suggested (Gates of Agony, Outrunners, Private Party) they've beaten already making it less meaningful
  • They suggested a program where they lost it to Swerve/Ospreay, but Ospreay got injured
  • They've got heat from the division for being cool heels that dominate and still get pops
  • MVP in particular is not well liked
  • Things are fine between MJF/HS apparently though that run was meant to go on longer

MVP having a personal dislike for Speedball feels so random that I believe it lmao

This sounds more like Lashley & MVP. I don't think i ever read where Shelton was a problem

And if true, this is why a lot of people online are iffy on former WWE people. Cause it always seem to be former WWE superstars who do this stuff making others look bad

A lot of this MVP has basically said as much in his promos too which may be convenient, but I am also not confident saying that's 100% a work when we have proven examples of stuff we thought was a work on screen not being that lol

It sure is a case of "Who knows?"... most of these rumors seem too aligned with the angles and storyline that's going on. Especially since it seemed that they might turn them pretty soon, even if it were just for an FTR match.

  • Things are fine between MJF/HS apparently though that run was meant to go on longer
I suspected as much. Felt very odd that they seemingly have dropped it already... but then again, it's not the first time we've seen a storyline being seemingly heavily rewritten.

Could be a work, could be a shoot, could be anything in-between really. If they really refused to put JetSpeed over, because MVP hates Bailey's stinking guts (or maybe he thinks he's "too small" to be considered a threat), but then prefer to lose the titles over a "younger team" than FTR... well then :fpalm

Speedball seems like such a nice guy idk how anyone could dislike him.

Then he's dead to me but Shelton and Lashley come over though.
I doubt they would without Montel though.



The Tag division had been really flat for a long time... the last thing needed is actual drama on top of that within that division. Wouldn't be surprised if it ends up with the Bucks getting the titles again as bridging champions.

On the one hand, refusing to cooperate is bad especially when they haven't been in AEW all that long and don't have a lot of pull backstage. On the other hand, why not a team like the Outrunners? They're super over, I think they deserve a title run.
