As noted before, former WWE talent Shelton Benjamin made his official debut for AEW at their Dynamite 5 Year Anniversary Show earlier this month in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Benjamin had signed an official contract with the company a few weeks prior to his debut appearance.
Following his official in-ring debut match on Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite show in San Jose, California, AEW CEO Tony Khan officially confirmed that Benjamin had signed a contract with the company and gave him the #AllElite graphic treatment for his signing.
What an amazing debut tonight on Wednesday Night #AEWDynamite!
