Shelton Benjamin came up to WWE's main roster way back in 2002 and had a successful mid-card stint for almost a decade. He returned to WWE in 2017 and has been a mainstay on the roster ever since. Mia Yim has been with WWE for the past three years. Mia Yim and Shelton Benjamin opened up in the past about Yim dealing with domestic abuse and how Benjamin helped her.
Yim: βHe pushed me on the bed and I just- there was a towel and so I fell on the towel and then he wrapped the towel around my neck and started like choking meβ¦ Shelton whoβs my brother. Heβs my big brother. Ugh I hate saying it out loud but I love him so much.β
Benjamin: βLike I said sheβs my little sister I love her to death and itβs funny, even with our little banters back and forth on Twitter and Instagram and everything itβs all love. Itβs all funβ
Yim: βHe pretty much offered up his home for me. The minute he found out, immediately he was like βIβll get you a plane ticket. You get outta there. I got you.β
Benjamin: βYou can come stay with me, I donβt care. Sheβs like βyeah but itβs not a big dealβ, Iβm like βno. Thatβs a problem. Thatβs a problem the first time not 50 times later. Girl you need to get outta that.β And she wasnβt ready to get out and sheβs like βwell we canβt hang out because heβs jealous of youβ and I was like βout of respect for you and your relationship, yes thatβs fine.'β
Yim: βHe respected that because he didnβt want me to deal with more stress. So he backed off but it was comforting to know that he would still like randomly be like βhey Iβm still here for you'β.
