Shelton Benjamin NOT returning to Smackdown
Wondered why there was no new promo last SD
Huge bummer Apparently he had a torn rotator cuff and didn't realise how bad it was until he went through the WWE medical. Hoping he gets signed once he gets it sorted. |

Maybe they can sign Kurt Angle instead now.

He's the reigning ROH World Champion. Would love to see Lethal in WWE though.

Looks like WWE found a serious issue in his pre-employment psychical. He's going to have it worked on and attempt a comeback. Still ain't nothing stopping him just slowing him up a bit for now.

So with Benjamin not coming back any time soon, can Hade Vansen finally make his Smackdown debut?

I have to work on Tuesday nights so I would have to record this show on my DVR device. Should I still record smackdown on my DVR?

Sad news indeed. I was really looking forward to Shelton Benjamin's return. Nonetheless, I hope that the surgery is a success and he can lead a normal life.

Seems like the universe just really doesn't want Smackdown to ever succeed. Not that Benjamin would have made the brand or anything, but it seems like every little thing that can go wrong does for the blue brand. Maybe it really isn't meant to be.

Kurt does not need to take the medical exam because he is Kurt Fucking Angle. Resign him before he's a damn old gimp. He's already getting up there in age.

Just sign him as a someone that doesn't perform "regularly" and pump him full of shit.

I was looking forward to Shelton Benjamin's return to SmackDown! LIVE. I'm dead serious, btw. Last edited by James Steele; 08-10-2016 at 08:41 AM. |

They can bring Charlie Haas back in blackface to be "Shelton Benjamin." Build to that eventual Shelton return and feud.

Or just have Charlie Haas wrestle as "Shelton Benjamin" as some sort of meta joke. Give Benjamin a "fourth" IC Title.
