WWE RAW: 5 Reasons why Shelton Benjamin attacked Seth Rollins

#3 To fill in the void for Brock Lesnar

Could Benjamin fill in for Lesnar's absence?

In the build-up to WrestleMania 35, Brock Lesnar hasn't been seen around much lately on Raw in order to promote his upcoming Universal Title match against Seth Rollins at The Grandest Stage Of Them All. Lesnar's advocate Paul Heyman instead has to do all the talking and has been doing all the work in order to properly create all the hype surrounding Lesnar's upcoming match against Rollins.

One of the prime reasons' why WWE might have decided to bring in Shelton Benjamin is to have him fill in the gap for Lesnar and keep Seth Rollins busy up until the point 'The Beast' actually decides to make his return to TV, which by the way is happening next week, as Lesnar is confirmed to appear on next week's Raw.

Nevertheless, we are still a few weeks away from Raw and we still don't know for the fact if Lesnar will appear on every single edition starting from next week till WrestleMania 35. So why not have his good friend Shelton Benjamin make things a bit more interesting with Rollins instead?
