5 surprising twists that could happen on the SmackDown Live after SummerSlam 2017

#4 Shelton Benjamin makes a huge return

WWE obviously see a lot of equity in Chad Gable, a man who could, in time, become the company's finest in-ring performer.

To put him over, we have a feeling that they might bring in his predecessor from Team Angle. We reported recently that Shelton Benjamin, a man who had been chosen to add weight to the SmackDown Live roster after the Superstar Shake-Up was cleared to return.

A rotator cuff injury had put him on the shelf and now that he is healed, he can have a variety of programs across the roster. Someone like Chad Gable could definitely benefit from his immense wealth of expertise.
