As seen in the video below, Shelton Benjamin is back in WWE and he’s the newest member of WWE Smackdown... and Chad Gable’s new tag team partner.
In a backstage segment, Gable was talking to Daniel Bryan about everyone only talking to him about Jason Jordan and Kurt Angle, and Gable made a comment about Bryan ‘giving’ Jordan to RAW. Bryan corrected him and said he didn’t give anything away, and he actually made a deal with Angle. He said Angle would get to sign Jordan to RAW, and he would get to sign one of Angle’s good friends to Smackdown.
Bryan then introduced Shelton Benjamin as Gable’s new partner, and announced they would have their first match together next week on Smackdown as a way to test out the waters. Gable greeted Benjamin, then Bryan shook Benjamin’s hand and welcomed him to the show.
Benjamin last worked for WWE in 2010. He was set to return to the company last year but the return was put on hold due to an injury that was discovered during medical testing.
