Shelton Benjamin Believes Bobby Lashley Joining AEW Would Be a Major Win – Shelton Benjamin has quickly made an impact in AEW since his debut. After being released by WWE in September 2023, Benjamin joined AEW earlier this month alongside MVP. He made his in-ring debut against Lio Rush on AEW Dynamite last week, earning praise for his performance.
The wrestling world is now buzzing with speculation that Bobby Lashley will soon follow suit. Lashley is reported to have signed with AEW and is expected to debut shortly.
In an interview with Gabby LaSpisa on Gabby AF, Shelton Benjamin discussed the possibility of reuniting with Lashley in AEW, referencing their time together as part of the popular Hurt Business faction. Benjamin expressed excitement at the idea, noting Lashley’s impressive resume as a two-time WWE World Champion and a world-class athlete. He believes that Lashley joining AEW would be a major win for the company, drawing in a larger audience and creating exciting new opportunities.
While Benjamin couldn’t confirm the exact timing of Lashley’s arrival, he emphasized that it would bring significant benefits to AEW, saying it would be “a lot of fun” for both the fans and those involved.
Shelton said, “For one, if Bobby were to come…most people were fans of the Hurt Business: myself, MVP, Bobby, and Cedric. The prospect of Bobby coming to AEW, I think that’s huge, that’s a win for AEW. Aside from myself, you have one of the most phenomenal athletes you could ever get. A two-time WWE World Champion. I think it only brings a bigger audience to AEW, so it’s a plus. When that will happen, I’m not sure. Bobby has his own plans and when/if they coincide with ours is yet to be determined. Him coming to AEW can only help everybody involved. It’ll be a lot of fun.”
