The Hurt Syndicate suffers a devastating setback just before AEW WrestleDream 2025

Since reuniting in AEW in 2024, the Hurt Syndicate has established a reign of dominance. However, just days before the company's next pay-per-view, WrestleDream, the stable suffered a major setback that might shake their confidence heading into the event.

On the October 15 edition of AEW Dynamite, Hurt Syndicate members Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin were scheduled to compete against The Demand's Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona in a standard tag team match. Both teams had their associates, MVP and Ricochet, at the ringside area to even the odds.

The two sides collided in an explosive and fast-paced tag showdown with the action spilling all over the ringside. Furthermore, Ricochet and MVP made their presence felt during the match with interference. That proved to be the ultimate downfall for The Hurt Syndicate in the final moments.

As Lashley and Kaun took each other down with a Lariat, Ricochet sneaked inside the ring. As the referee was not looking, the former WWE United States Champion hit the Spirit Gun on The Almighty to help Kaun score the pinfall. With their win, The Hurt Syndicate suffered their first loss in a tag team match since arriving in AEW.

Ricochet questioned The Hurt Syndicate whether they were afraid of his AEW faction

The Hurt Syndicate had picked up a trios win over The Demand in a Street Fight last week on AEW Dynamite: Title Tuesday. This led to Ricochet questioning them if they were afraid of his faction, as they targeted him one-on-three to score the victory.

Furthermore, both sides are set to clash in another trios match at the upcoming WrestleDream pay-per-view, which will surely be a must-see encounter.
