The Hurt Business consisted of Bobby Lashley, MVP, Shelton Benjamin, and Cedric Alexander. That faction made money, traveled the world, and they brought a level of excellence to their promos. Now, Lashley is onto his next venture, and he has a new standing beside him. That new faction reportedly has a name.

Bobby Lashley & The Street Profit's New Stable

After several months of Bobby Lashley teaming up with The Street Profits on WWE television, a faction name has been chosen. This comes after months of them appearing on television as an unnamed trio. 

According to WrestleVotes, the intended name for the faction is "The Pride." The name reveal was postponed for reasons unknown, but it was supposed to happen on last week's episode of SmackDown. There may also be a shift in the group's direction as well.

“There were plans in place to name the Bobby Lashley / Street Profits faction on last weeks SmackDown, which got axed at the last second for unknown reasons. I’m told those plans are still tentative as the direction of the trio could be shifting. The planned name for the group is “The Pride.”

The Background

The Street Profits turned heel when joining forces with Lashley, forming a new faction on SmackDown. They are currently involved in a storyline with AOP and Killer Kross.

There were talks within WWE about potentially adding Odyssey Jones to the group, but no developments have really progressed, and it appears they dropped the idea. Jones hasn't made any television appearances since his main roster call-up during the 2023 WWE Draft.
