And the group will get back together at Mania & help Lashley beat Mcintyre!

It is not a swerve sadly.

They're the best group WWE has had in years so of course their breakup is permanent.

Do I hope it's a swerve? Yes. Do I believe it's a swerve? not one bit unfortunately.

I was hoping that their “breakup” would lead to Lashley tricking McIntyre into a 4 on 1 beat down at the end of Raw and revealing the break up was a masterful ruse. Alas this is 2021 WWE booking and I knew better, thus turned the channel as soon as it happened.
Also pretty sure they’re still banned from ringside so the idea of them helping Lashley out at Mania is out the window.

I think it's a little too late for it to be a swerve, but then again, who knows

I'd rather McIntyre win, so in that sense no I hope it's not a swerve. But for them to get back together in general, sure why not. If for some reason they do get back together, it definitely wouldn't have been a planned swerve from the start.

3/29/21 7:18 pm CT Not currently watching but reading the news, that sounds hella dumb. So wish it was to swerve Drew Mac but know Creative isn't creative enough for that...

If fans had been in attendance right now, they would have been cheering on the Hurt Business and booing Drew McIntyre by now.
Vince didn't have to break up the Hurt Business. I am more shocked he didn't have them remain a group and had Drew go through all 4 of them in the main event of Wrestlemania.
With no fans screaming weekly on Raw, Vince can pretty much do whatever he wants now and not worry about any sort of backlash since he pipes in the cheers and boos.

For Shelton's sake I hope it is. On his own I see him getting jobbed out to oblivion on Main Event because of how they view older midcarders

People criticise WWE's booking yet want them to pass off a Lashley beat down as a swerve?

No. It's not a swerve. WWE was afraid that Lashley and the Hurt Business would get cheered in front of fans at Mania. WWE wants Drew to get cheered when he wins the Title. So Vince did what he always does to get cheap heel heat: Turn a guy into a coward and team them with Baron Corbin. Laaaaaazy booking.

Another dumb idea to break up that team.

One of the few enjoyable things on RAW so of course it’s ended.

It'd be better if Lashley won because he was a better wrestler than McIntyre. No need to complicate it.
Faking a breakup to swerve at mania is Russo booking.

its not a swerve. its just typical Vince. he's done with something, it's over. nobody has a say otherwise. he was bored of it months ago. he gives ZERO s about Shelton & Cedric. they were always expendable to him. vince wants you to boo lashley and mvp and cheer for drew, thats it. so it was an angle to give lashley more heel heat.

If this ends up with MVP,Lashley and Lee being the new Hurt Business I'm ok with it.

Kinda but not really. Lashley doesnt really need backup and the other 2 can hang on their own in the tag division.
It was a pretty cool little new age NoD but it never clicked with me the way the older stables did.

It’s simple: Vince wants fans to boo Lashley and cheer McIntyre so he broke up an entertaining group to get what he wants (which I’m still not sure a live crowd will boo Lashley at this point).

I loved the Hurt Business. For Drew getting cheered at Wrestlemania it made sense, but in the scheme of things it was FAR too soon. I do hope they keep Benji with Cedric, as he still can’t talk worth a crap. Shelton works as a heavy as well...unless the target is Lashley, Strowman, or Lesnar. In any case, splitting them now was a mistake. Cedric was finally starting to become something, now he’s back to jobbing probably. I’ve always been a huge Shelton fan, but it hurt me to see him jobbing. I’m grateful that he got a proper twilight run, he deserved better than jobbing, but now I want more. It looks like that ship has sailed. Even if they put it back together now it would feel like Rousey/Lynch/Charlotte style shoehorn booking.
