Shelton Benjamin is officially locked in with AEWand hes not going anywhere anytime soon.
During a guest appearance on Huge Pop Radio, the veteran star confirmed hes signed a new three-year deal with All Elite Wrestling, solidifying his future with the company alongside MVP and Bobby Lashley as part of the hard-hitting faction, The Hurt Syndicate.
Uh, three years, Benjamin casually revealed when asked how long his contract runs. That puts him in AEW through at least 2027.
Benjamin, Lashley, and MVP made headlines when they reformed their group with a new name and a new home. The trioonce dominant in WWE as The Hurt Businesshas brought their signature swagger to AEW, where Benjamin and Lashley currently hold the AEW World Tag Team Titles. Their latest title defense went down at AEW Dynasty, where they put away Big Bill and Bryan Keith in a gritty, physical bout.
When the topic turned to Cedric Alexander, another former member of the original group, Benjamin played it coy when asked if fans might see a full reunion. If I were a betting manI feel like Im the house, so I cant I cant reveal, he said with a laugh, hinting that something might already be in motion behind the scenes.
While nothings been confirmed, the possibility of Cedric showing up in AEW to join his former stablemates would definitely turn headsand possibly reshape AEWs tag and trios divisions all over again.
Are you down to see the full Hurt Syndicate back together in AEW? Or should they keep it exclusive with the current trio? Please share your thoughts and feedback in the comment section below.
