Shelton Benjamin Reportedly in Talks with AEW – Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp has unveiled intriguing insights suggesting that Shelton Benjamin might be heading towards AEW. Despite an initial absence of communication between Benjamin and All Elite Wrestling upon his free agency, recent dialogues have sparked discussions about the possibility of his involvement with the promotion.
While the specifics of any agreement remain undisclosed, it’s evident that discussions regarding potential appearances have been ongoing for at least a month. Interestingly, this development follows previous attempts from individuals within AEW to bring Benjamin aboard, albeit without fruition.
Benjamin’s wrestling journey traces back to his WWE debut in 2000, reaching the main roster in 2002 as part of Team Angle, alongside notable successes as a tag team with Charlie Haas. Throughout his tenure, he clinched the Tag Team Titles and held the Intercontinental Championship three times, along with a US Title reign.
After a hiatus following his 2010 release, Benjamin resurfaced in 2017 as a pivotal member of The Hurt Business alongside MVP, Cedric Alexander, and Bobby Lashley. His final WWE appearance occurred on the September 14, 2023, episode of Main Event, preceding his release last September.
