Shelton Benjamin confirms that he has had discussions with All Elite Wrestling. He also confirmed he's been in contact with Major League Wrestling.
Following his 2023 WWE release, Shelton Benjamin is one of the top free-agent veterans in professional wrestling. With decades of experience in the squared circle and self-professed "tonnes in the tank," there are options for Benjamin both in front of and behind the camera in the ever-expanding world of wrestling in 2024.
Speaking with Chris Van Vliet on the Insight podcast, Benjamin confirmed a Fightful Select story that he had been in contact with AEW. While he says that those discussions have yet to bear fruit, the doors remain open, and he also says he has been in contact with MLW. While he hasn't been in contact with TNA yet, Benjamin also remains open to working with them.
"I had a brief conversation with AEW, that hasn't really borne fruit yet. But I'm still open. TNA, I haven't spoken with yet. I'm more than willing to work with them. I haven't talked to them. I know MLW reached out. So you know, I've been presented with options. I just haven't found something that I'm satisfied with."
Benjamin has previously mentioned that he is also open to working with NJPW once again. For now, he is taking independent bookings and facing talents such as Josh Alexander.
Fightful will continue to provide any and all updates regarding Shelton Benjamin's future.
