Big E: I Want To See The Hurt Business Back To Battle New Day

Now that Big E is WWE Champion, he is the target.

Being back on Raw, Big E will have Xavier Woods & Kofi Kingston watching his back again, and after taking the title from Bobby Lashley, Big E would like to do battle with The Hurt Business.

The Hurt Business (Lashley, Cedric Alexander & Shelton Benjamin) split earlier this year, but Big E hopes to see them back together and across the ring.

"The first thought that comes to mind is The Hurt Business," Big E told Khal of Complex when asked about potential challengers. "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."

Alexander sent out the following tweet after Big E cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase and won the title from Bobby Lashley:

It is unknown if The Hurt Business will eventually get back together.

The Bloodline (Roman Reigns and The Usos) are currently on SmackDown and holding all the gold on the blue brand.
