* WeAreStrugglingTogether: Alexander and Benjamin seemed to have this dynamic going for awhile after Cedric joined, due to his hardheadedness and Shelton's uncertainty if he could be trusted or not. Early on in Lashley's title run, the two were kicked out of the stable after weeks of losses and proceeded to occasionally antagonize both Lashley and one another. Shortly after he lost the belt to Wrestling/{{Big E|Langston}}'s Money in the Bank cash-in and MVP got injured, Alexander and Benjamin came out in Hurt Business gear while attempting to help Lashley retake his championship, only to be thwarted by Wrestling/TheNewDay.

* OutGambitted: As part of his gambit to clear a path to the WWE Championship, The Miz struck a deal with MVP to have Lashley, who was furious after losing the United States Championship in a triple threat match to Wrestling/MattRiddle, attack the man who emerged from the Elimination Chamber 2021 WWE title match. The ensuing beating after the Chamber match left Wrestling/DrewMcIntyre ripe for the picking, allowing Miz to win the title using Money in the Bank. The only problem? Miz, in his zeal to be champion, failed to grasp the significant trouble that a deal which gave Lashley the first shot at his title would put him in. Eight days later, Lashley would emphatically secure the WWE Championship and command of the ''Raw'' title scene for The Hurt Business, with the threat of a cash-in which had loomed over [=McIntyre's=] run effectively neutralized for at least several months.

* EvilVersusEvil: While the group has been villainous for its entire run, they had a feud with the also villainous stable Retribution, ostensibly out of PragmaticVillainy because Retribution's anarchic antics and attempt to bring down WWE literally weren't good business for the Hurt Business. Once Retribution was dealt with, the Hurt Business went back to their villainous deeds.
to:
* EvilVersusEvil: While the group has been villainous for its entire run, they describe themselves as being businessmen moreso than bad guys, meaning they're not above taking out other heels to establish dominance in moments of PragmaticVillainy. For example, they had a feud with the also villainous stable Retribution, ostensibly out of PragmaticVillainy because Retribution's whose anarchic antics and attempt to bring down WWE literally weren't good business for their business; they made sure Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn couldn't escape US Champion Lashley's decimation in their champion vs. champion match at the Hurt Business. Once Retribution was dealt with, 2020 ''Wrestling/SurvivorSeries''; and of course the whole plan surrounding taking out Wrestling/DrewMcIntyre to get first dibs at the WWE title after Wrestling/TheMiz's cash-in meant that Lashley would destroy both the heroic fighting champion by underhanded means and the villainous Money in the Bank champion straight up to become the absolute dominant champion. Of course, after every showing of valor, The Hurt Business went back to their villainous deeds.
Added DiffLines:
* VillainousValor: All thanks to Lashley. While definitely not a man who has a problem with devious heel tactics, Lashley doesn't ''need'' them; he's perfectly willing and capable of taking out anyone who steps up to him man-to-man, and whenever they needed to go pragmatic and take out other bad guys, MVP and company were basically there to either even out the numbers or prevent the other heel from cheating, allowing The All Mighty's dominance to speak for itself.

* AbortedArc: One episode of ''Raw'' ended with the Hurt Business invading "Raw Underground" (a segment on ''Raw'' featuring some sort of underground fight club hosted by Wrestling/ShaneMcMahon) beating up the featured fighters and declared something along the lines that that they were "running this place." Many took this to assume that the Hurt Business had enacted a HostileShowTakeover of the segment, but the Hurt Business actually wouldn't appear on the segment again ("Raw Underground" was unceremoniously phased out a few weeks later).

* ScaryBlackMan: Bobby Lashley even compared to the other members is frightening. Built like a god, freakishly strong, abnormally quick for a man his size, and both his resting and angry facial expressions make him look like a physical predator. About the only time he doesn't look like he's ready to rip your head off is when he's beaming with joy because he just won a championship. His theme music is a more dangerous variation of the faction's music for no other reason than to emphasize this. Even back in TNA, MVP was hyping Lashley up as a monster.
