Shelton Benjamin Is Not Signed With WWE and Is Touring Internationally

Shelton Benjamin said on Twitter that he is not under contract with WWE right now and that he never signed due to being injured.

@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

Benjamin was set to return last summer shortly after the WWE draft, but during medical testing, it was discovered he had a rotator cuff injury which needed surgery. He has only just recently been medically cleared to return in the past month or so.

He also announced on Twitter that he’s currently taking bookings and he is scheduled for upcoming shows in Queens, NY, Australia, South Africa and Chile.
