Shelton Benjamin was surprised with his matches on AEW TV as per his comments in an interview with ITR Wrestling. Here's what he said last year:

"Just the fact that I’ve been able to gel so well with guys who I never have worked with before and put on great performances, that has been the biggest surprise to me. It shouldn’t be, because again, these are some of the best athletes in the world, some of the best professional wrestlers in the world. But it’s definitely a pleasant surprise." [H/T - ITRWrestling]

Many fans believe going to AEW was the right thing to do on Shelton Benjamin's part. Fans consider him one of the most underrated talents in the industry and feel he wasn't utilized to his fullest potential in WWE.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
