#4 The return of Shelton Benjamin

He’s cleared and raring to go

We saw Kurt Angle become the Raw General Manager this week, and it only fits that Shelton Benjamin, his old ally, makes his SmackDown return. Benjamin was supposed to be a part of SmackDown LIVE immediately after the brand split, but an injury kept him out of proceedings. The 3-time IC Champion left the company in 2010.

It'll be great to see him return and possibly bolster the top and middle of the card on SmackDown LIVE. Because of his previous gimmick, Benjamin’s interaction with American Alpha will be very interesting as well. He recently confirmed his medical clearance to wrestle after a 9-month injury layoff and all we can say is, make it happen WWE!
