#1 Shelton Benjamin will play a crucial role in the WWE Championship storyline
Rey Mysterio returned to RAW for the first time since the brutal beat down by Brock Lesnar, who decimated the three-time WWE Champion and his son Dominic. While Mysterio was there to talk about the upcoming match between Cain Velasquez and Brock Lesnar, he was interrupted by Lesnar's advocate, Paul Heyman. Shelton Benjamin also confronted Mysterio, but Cain Velasquez came out to the rescue.
The storyline has taken an interesting turn with the addition of Shelton Benjamin. Given Benjamin has not been on TV regularly, it is certainly a good opportunity for him to get involved in a major storyline. Benjamin and Lesnar have a close association, as they were tag team partners in OVW. Furthermore, they also trained together as amateur wrestlers in Minnesota. This was mentioned by Benjamin on RAW.
Shelton Benjamin made it clear that he will be part of the WWE Championship storyline heading forward. It wouldn't be a surprise, if he stays ringside at Crown Jewel, inevitably influencing the bout's outcome.
