Plans for Future AEW Competition
In his discussion, Lashley emphasized the group dynamics within his faction, expressing hopes to compete alongside Shelton and MVP in the trios division. He highlighted the group’s camaraderie and drive to recapture former successes by targeting the AEW National Championship and other titles. Lashley said,
“When we get back, between Shelton and MVP, we want to do things collectively and want to do things as a group. I think we’re going to go after the trios guys. Let’s see what we can do with those guys. That’s what we need. The crowd loves us over there. We have the opportunity to bring back what we had before and it’s real. We have a great group and we’re all friends and pull for each other. Anytime one of us is done, the other pulls them up. Right now, they are pulling me up and yanking me back in. ‘We’re ready go back out there and win some titles.’ I am healed. Everybody thought I was hurt. I’m not hurt. You can’t hurt the Almighty,”
he said.
