He recently spoke about new members in the faction. He said, “I think there are some people on the roster that have a kind of the same mentality that we have, that older school mentality. There’ are a lot of names that have been thrown out, male and female. I like them both.”
“There’s a lot of names that have been thrown out. Mickie James came back with our era, so Mickie James has that old Hurt Business style from before. You have Naomi, she has that whoop a girl up attitude also,” Lashley said.
