WWE could capitalize on one of their greatest pure athlete's experiences in the future. Shelton Benjamin could have a hand in training superstars coming through the ranks.

Benjamin's initial stint with WWE ended in 2010. He eventually performed all around the world, including for New Japan Pro-Wrestling. He returned to WWE in 2017, seven years after his initial departure.

Shelton Benjamin was a monster in Japan. When he left WWE, he reinvented himself by joining Suzuki Gun in NJPW. Shelton had a great run in G1 23 and 24. He faced the likes of Nakamura, Shibata, and Tanahashi. He also went to NOAH and faced Shiozaki for the GHC heavyweight title pic.twitter.com/XO0jvG0SwJ

Benjamin spoke about his time in New Japan Pro-Wrestling on E&C's Pod of Awesomeness:

"Japan, the best way to put it is rejuvenating. Going there, I never felt more appreciated, first of all, by management because, I mean, Jado and Gedo, New Japan, like, they really treated me well over there. And, again, I didn't expect to be there. It was one of those things. MVP was over there and he brought me in on an angle where he needed a friend, and, obviously, he doesn't have any Japanese friends," Shelton Benjamin said. (h/t ewrestling)

Shelton Benjamin comes with experience from both Japan and from graduating through the same developmental year as John Cena, Brock Lesnar, Batista and Randy Orton. He would be a wise addition to teach the superstars of tomorrow how it is done and to share his knowledge and incredible moveset.
