WWE released a list of talent in September 2024, and Shelton Benjamin was on that list. That being said, he has been conspicuously absent from any big announcement about going elsewhere. It turns out there is interest in him.

Shelton Benjamin has not ended up in TNA, AEW, NJPW, or anywhere. According to a new report, there are some suitors out there for the veteran former WWE Superstar.

According to reports from Fightful Select, Shelton Benjamin, who is currently unaffiliated with any company, has garnered interest from various potential promotions.

While initially there was no contact between Shelton Benjamin and All Elite Wrestling upon his free agency, recent conversations between the two parties have taken place. These discussions revolved around the possibility of Benjamin making appearances for the company.

It remains uncertain whether Benjamin would enter into a contract or a full-time deal with AEW, or if any formal agreements have been reached.

Talks regarding potential appearances for Benjamin reportedly started approximately a month ago, although the specifics of any arrangement were not disclosed. Obviously, he could provide a boost for any roster he joins.

Despite rumors last year about Shelton Benjamin's WWE contract expiring, he was eventually released by the company in the fall of 2023. Benjamin's release from WWE opened up the possibility for him to explore opportunities with other wrestling promotions.

Having been with WWE since before the inception of AEW, Benjamin had not previously had the chance to work with Tony Khan's company. Things may change in that regard soon enough.

Shelton Benjamin has a notable history in Ring of Honor. Benjamin's extensive experience in the wrestling industry makes him an attractive prospect for potential employers.
