Back in September of 2023 the TKO merger was completed and WWE proceeded to release a number of wrestlers including former Intercontinental Champion Shelton Benjamin. Since then Shelton Benjamin has been wrestling on the independent scene, but he’s not ruling out a potential WWE return.
During a recent interview with Daily Star, Shelton Benjamin confirmed that he would return to WWE if they asked him to. However, he also clarified that he’s not actively pursuing a WWE return.
“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.”
