According to a recent report from WrestlingInc.com, Shelton Benjamin will still be returning to WWE later his year or in early 2017. It’s very likely he could return to WWE during the “Royal Rumble.”

All of that will depend on his revovery after his surgery, which he just had yesterday. Now, it’s up to him and his recovery process to figure out when he will be returning to WWE.

The great thing about Benjamin’s return will be his ability to fill any role on the roster. His experience and skill would allow him to challenge for the WWE title or IC title. He’ll have unlimited options.
