It doesn’t seem like former WWE and TNA World champion Bobby Lashley is destined to add AEW’s top belt to his collection, but The Hurt Syndicate star’s trophy case is still filling up.
Lashley’s held the World title of ACW (Australia Championship Wrestling) since making a September trip Down Under. Last night (Nov. 12) in New York, the All Mighty only needed a couple minutes of work to claim 4th Rope Wrestling’s biggest prize.
It happened at Heelmatic, and via an assist from 4th Rope General Manager
Montell Vontavious Porter. MVP’s been 4th Rope’s authority figure since 2024. He’s also, of course, Bobby’s Hurt Syndicate manager/teammate.
MVP awarded the vacant 4th Rope Heavyweight championship to Joe Alonzo, who was complaining he’d been screwed out of a title shot. The catch was that Alonzo had to defend it immediately… cue Big Bob, who won in dominant fashion.
The Hurt Syndicate has been used sparingly in AEW this year amidst rumors they don’t want to lose, but we also heard Porter and Shelton Benjamin re-signed with Tony Khan this year.
Do you make anything of Lashley squashing his way to another belt in Westside Gunn’s promotion, Cagesiders?
