Shelton Benjamin tweeted that he “feels almost normal” but still has work to do.
Repping out 225LBs easily for the first time in 8 months. Feels almost normal but still got work to do.

Benjamin signed with WWE and was set to return to SmackDown shortly after the brand split in July, but suffered a torn rotator cuff before he could re-debut and has been out of action since. However, he is expected to return to WWE once he is ready and tweeted shortly after his injury that he will be back.
