The Hurt Syndicate Faction, made up of Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, and MVP attacked Strickland after he defeated Lio Rush on this week's episode of AEW Dynamite.

MVP had attempted to secure Strickland for the faction, but was denied. After a match between Shelton Benjamin and Strickland -- which Strickland won -- Lashley appeared and attacked Swerve. As of now, Strickland is scheduled to face Lashley in a one-on-one match at AEW Full Gear on Saturday night.
