00:00SportsGrid out here on Radio Row in New Orleans. Kevin Walsh, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, MVP, the Hurts Syndicate, the AEW Tag Champions.

00:10Bobby, I'll go to you first. How did it feel to get some gold around your waist so quickly into the new company?

00:16It felt incredible. And we've talked about this a number of times, but this is my first tag team title.

00:23So to win a tag team title with this guy right here makes it even more special.

00:28So it is a good time to be an AEW fan, and it's a good time to be a Hurts Syndicate fan.

00:34Yeah, and there's certainly a lot of them. Shelton, I mean, has it been fun for you teaming with Bobby immediately here in AEW?

00:40You guys obviously have some history, and finding that day one basically success winning the gold?

00:45Oh, absolutely. Again, these are my brothers. These are my best friends.

00:49So to be successful at a high level winning championships with the guys that I call family, I mean, you can't top it.

00:56And coming into a new company in AEW, yeah, we're putting our stamp on that company, and we're elevating the game there.

01:05MVP for you, I know you'll mix it up, but you also oversee everything.

01:11And I know you're always kind of looking around, so that's one set of championships already brought in.

01:16Are there eyes on a trios title, some single gold, some additions to the group possibly?

01:22Additions to the group, always possible.

01:29Yeah.

01:35I mean, I haven't retired yet, but I've got the best job in the world.

01:41Yeah, which is exactly what they do.

01:45I want to ask you, MVP, the way that the Hurts Syndicate has been received I think has been pretty awesome to watch.

01:54I saw someone the other day say it's the simplest thing in the world.

01:57They show up, they look cool, they beat people up, and they move on.

02:01Have you found the simplicity of it all is what makes this run so well?

02:07That, and the organic attitude.

02:12We're all legitimate grapplers, and we really love what we do.

02:27All of us are professional wrestlers.

02:29They can beat any of the guys sitting here, especially the guys at the tag team.

02:35Yeah.

02:40Our goal here was to achieve tag team championships first, so that we could put the group dynamic into play,

02:47and so that Bobby could have his first tag team title.

02:51Sheldon's had more than anybody can count. I've had a few.

02:54And now, when we feel that we've put our stamp on this tandem at AEW Tag Team Championships,

03:03I put everyone on notice, and I let them know, if you have a championship right now, enjoy it while you can.

03:08Because when we vacate these titles, we're going to come for you.

03:11We're going to hurt you, and we're going to take your title.

03:33Dominating the tag team division, and making them relevant.

03:35Because a lot of those guys were out there doing their thing, and there were different tag team champions,

03:40and the titles get passed around so much, because one guy has it, and they get beat.

03:44We're not going to do that. We're going to solidify ourselves as the tag team champions.

03:49We're going to stay there for a while, and then we're going to have our little meetings,

03:53and we're going to figure out who to start going for next.

03:56A lot of those guys are kind of tied up with different things right now,

03:58so we'll let them have their little feuds, and their little interactions with each other.

04:03But once we move to that next title, we will go and take it, just like we did these.

04:08Speaking of singles action, though, Shelton, you were in the Continental Classic.

04:10I'm just wondering how that run of matches all stacked up for you,

04:13from other things that you've kind of experienced within your career.

04:16I think the expectation is for people to go out there and show out,

04:19and I think people had high expectations for you, and I think you still managed to exceed them with flying colors.

04:24When you talk about your performance in the Continental Classic.

04:27Well, one, it was a good opportunity for me to scout, first of all.

04:32It was a good opportunity for me to scout, get a lay of the land,

04:35and honestly, I had to remind people of what I'm capable of,

04:43because the last place I was at kind of pretty much kept me away from any significant stories, action, everything.

04:50So I think the Continental Classic was a great way for me to reintroduce myself

04:54and show the AEW fans that, no, I belong, I am a professional, and I thrive in competition.

05:02Yeah, and I got to be honest with you, I was telling him, I was a little hot with him.

05:06He would have won more matches if he wasn't out having threesomes and foursomes.

05:10I mean, I guess priorities can vary.

05:14Maybe next year's Continental Classic, you can do just one-on-ones,

05:18and then you win the matches, and you'll be all right.

05:20And no threesomes.

05:25The Hurts Syndicate, man, absolutely on top of the business right now.

05:28Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, MVP.

05:30Appreciate you fellas, and best of luck.

05:32As always.

05:33Wednesday nights, tune in, see the Hurts Syndicate do what we do.

05:35We beat people up, we hurt people.

05:37We are the Hurts Syndicate.

05:39Best at what we do.

05:42There it is.
