MJF is scheduled to sign a contract on the May 21st AEW Dynamite, cementing his place within The Hurt Syndicate. This development follows MJF’s insistence that his legal representative, Mark Sterling, first examine the agreement.

The Hurt Syndicate, featuring MVP, Bobby Lashley, and Shelton Benjamin, presented MJF with the membership offer. This occurred during the Dynamite Beach Break event, where all three members gave their approval.

Bobby Lashley’s eventual endorsement was pivotal, as he initially resisted MJF’s inclusion. While MVP and Shelton Benjamin were quicker to accept the former AEW World Champion, Lashley demanded more.
