Shelton Benjamin has made a splash since making his debut in AEW.
WWE released Benjamin in September 2023. He joined the promotion earlier this month alongside MVP. Shelton made his in-ring debut against Lio Rush on last week’s episode of AEW Dynamite with glowing reviews.
As previously reported, Bobby Lashley is expected to follow. He has signed with the promotion and is just waiting to make his debut. This week on Dynamite, he will battle the returning Sammy Guevara.
Speaking to Gabby LaSpisa on Gabby AF, Benjamin addressed the possibility of Lashley joining AEW.
Shelton said, “For one, if Bobby were to come…most people were fans of the Hurt Business: myself, MVP, Bobby, and Cedric. The prospect of Bobby coming to AEW, I think that’s huge, that’s a win for AEW. Aside from myself, you have one of the most phenomenal athletes you could ever get. A two-time WWE World Champion. I think it only brings a bigger audience to AEW, so it’s a plus. When that will happen, I’m not sure. Bobby has his own plans and when/if they coincide with ours is yet to be determined. Him coming to AEW can only help everybody involved. It’ll be a lot of fun.”
