As we noted earlier, there has been an expectation among some that Bobby Lashley and MVP could be exiting WWE when their current deals expire.
In the case of MVP, we are told his current WWE deal is up in mid-August and there have not been any major discussions as of yet about a new deal. There had been some talk about potentially using him as a Producer or announcer, but nothing ever really came about in either role, although there we are told there had been some sort of tryouts at some point. WWE still has MVP listed under the Misc. section of their internal talent list.
In the case of Bobby Lashley, we are told that there was a WWE contract offer made but it wasn't one that immediately made him "jump to sign" as one source commented and that Lashley has strongly considered seeing what he would be worth out on the market. We were not able to confirm as of this writing when Lashley's current deal would expire. Lashley is still listed on the Smackdown roster internally. Lashley last wrestled in May.
As we noted, the belief within WWE is each will likely exit when their deals expire. Obviously, the pair together would be worth something, especially with Shelton Benjamin also available should a promotion seek to reform their former The Hurt Business stable. The name could not be used outside of WWE, as they own the trademark on it.
