Shelton Benjamin Doesn’t Rule Out WWE Return After Firing

Shelton Benjamin has long been seen by fans as a talent whose true potential wasn’t fully tapped during his previous stints. After being released from WWE last year, Benjamin has now addressed the possibility of returning to the company in the future.

For those unaware, there were discussions between Shelton Benjamin and AEW about his potential involvement with the promotion, which aimed to bolster their roster with his star power. However, those negotiations ultimately did not materialize.

In a recent interview with Daily Star, Shelton Benjamin was asked about the possibility of rejoining WWE. Benjamin expressed that he would definitely return if WWE reached out to him, indicating his openness to making a comeback to the company where he has a storied history.

“I think I’d be a fool to not look at the opportunity. If they ask me to come back, I would definitely go back. I would be a fool not to. They are the biggest company in the world, you get the most exposure. You can really expand your own personal brand there. The WWE is a marketing machine. Most people think of WWE as a wrestling company.“

“I think of it as a marketing company. If you get a chance to go there, I say to anyone, ‘Go.’ Yes, it’s going to be frustrating at times. Leave your feelings at the door. WWE doesn’t care about your feelings, much like any other job. I would definitely go back if given the opportunity. Am I trying to go back? No. I take it day by day and deal with what I have to deal with. If the opportunity came, of course, I would definitely consider going back.”

Shelton Benjamin made his in-ring return following his WWE release last month and has since been competing in various promotions. Only time will tell whether Shelton Benjamin will ever return to WWE again.
