Shelton Benjamin was supposed to make his WWE return in 2016 but due to an injury, his return was delayed. Benjamin then made his WWE return on an episode of Smackdown Live last year as Chad Gable’s Tag Team partner. Gable and Benjamin’s team had the potential to be the top team of Smackdown Live but they came up short every time they went for something big. Shelton became a solo competitor after Gable got drafted to Raw earlier this year.

If you used to follow WWE back in 2003/2004, you must be aware of Benjamin’s work. He is a former Tag Team Champion, a multi-time Intercontinental Champion, and a former US Champion. He never fails to impress in the ring. Ever since returning to WWE in 2017, Benjamin hasn’t done anything prominent yet but if he gets the chance, he could become an important part of the mid-card scene and a fitting challenger for the US title.
