AEW Star Says Company Doesn't Need To Sign Shelton Benjamin
AEW has a number of former WWE Superstars on their roster. It appears that they may be adding one more, but that doesn't mean it will be a universally praised decision.
Shelton Benjamin was released from WWE in September last year, but he hasn't signed with another company yet. He may just end up in AEW at this point, and Max Caster couldn't keep his opinion to himself. Caster doesn't think AEW needs Shelton.
It was previously reported that AEW is in talks with Shelton Benjamin. That would be a great get for Tony Khan, because Shelty hasn't ended up anywhere else since his WWE release in September 2023.
Max Caster apparently heard this report, and he couldn't keep his opinion to himself. While reacting to this new story about another former WWE Superstar who may be coming into the Land of All Elite, Caster posted on Twitter/X to let everyone know how he feels about things.

What's Next For AEW & Shelton Benjamin
Shelton Benjamin's release was a surprise for many, because he is a veteran and has a ton of tools to offer any company he works for. At 48-years-old, Benjamin still has a lot of gas in the tank, and he just may end up in AEW soon enough.
For what it's worth, there have been people in AEW pulling for Tony Khan to sign Shelton Benjamin since before WWE released him. So, he does have people on the roster who are on his side.
AEW is looking ahead for their Big Business episode of Dynamite in Boston this week. March 13th's episode will likely see the debut of Mercedes Mone for the company. It's anyone's guess how much longer fans will have to wait until Shelton Benjamin joins the mix.
