RAW: Shelton Benjamin Joins MVP's Stable To Face Ricochet, Cedric Alexander & The Returning Mustafa Ali

Not only did Shelton Benjamin pin R-Truth to become the new 24/7 Champion on Raw, but the highly underutilized Superstar also joined MVP and Bobby Lashley to form a new faction known as The Hurt Business.

We've seen very little of Shelton Benjamin since he returned to WWE last year, but that may be about to change. Last night on Raw, the underutilized veteran took the 24/7 Championship from R-Truth and joined MVP and Bobby Lashley to form a new faction known as The Hurt Business.

While MVP was cutting a promo in the ring alongside his new stablemates, he was interrupted by Ricochet and Cedric Alexander, who challenged them to a six-man tag team match. Their partner? The returning Mustafa Ali.

Ali actually got the win for his team after hitting his 054 Splash on MVP, but it's difficult to get too hyped for his comeback. Knowing WWE, he'll be hooked in Lashley's Full Nelson in no time and lose any momentum he had. While it's also great to see Benjamin being used, we'll have to see how long that lasts!

Ron Simmons was also featured in backstage segments with Lashley and MVP, and there are rumors that WWE may be planning to introduce a revamped take on The Nation of Domination. Honestly, we're not sure now is really the right time for a heel stable comprised entirely of black men...
