Earlier this month, WWE released dozens of wrestlers, including Shelton Benjamin. According to Fightful Select, several AEW wrestlers are hoping that Benjamin will join the company. Some wrestlers had hoped AEW would pursue Benjamin earlier this year, when it was falsely rumored that Benjamin’s WWE contract would be expiring. There is no word on if AEW is interested in bringing him in or if Benjamin is interested in wrestling there.

Opinion: Hiring Benjamin would certainly make a lot of sense as he is one of the more experienced high level wrestlers out there today. Having Benjamin in some kind of a backstage role or working as a producer or something like that would be a good use of his talents as well. If Benjamin is interested in coming in to AEW, there are far worse people they could hire.
