Shelton Benjamin has been an interesting story to follow lately. Just as recent as the beginning of April, it appeared as if he was a lock to return upon fully rehabbing from a torn rotator cuff. In fact, just before sustaining the injury, Shelton was being advertised as the newest member of the SmackDown LIVE roster. Unfortunately, it appears things have changed somewhere along the way. In recent social media posts, Shelton described himself as a free agent, making it seem as if WWE was no longer a sure deal.

Benjamin would be a welcome return to the company and would likely help a lot of younger guys get over. Another key attraction for Shelton to return would be the possibility of a feud with his friend Brock Lesnar. You may recall that Shelton and Brock were part of a tag team in developmental.

If either side plans on making something happen, it needs to be sooner, rather than later. WWE is a young man’s sport, and even though Shelton Benjamin could probably still compete at the highest level, he is now over 40 years old.

He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
