Shelton Benjamin comments on WWE status
Former WWE star Shelton Benjamin, who was set to return to WWE last year before undergoing rotator cuff surgery, commented on his current status with WWE on Twitter noting that because of the surgery he never signed with WWE last year.
@MFSteveHere @TheSonOfMuta @JoyOfBearding Let me clear this up now. I am not signed to @WWE. I never signed due to injury. While that could change, as of 4-16-2017 I am a free agent
