We noted yesterday (Mon. April 17, 2017) that former WWE Superstar Shelton Benjamin is set to return to in-ring action after having recovered from surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff. Benjamin was set to return to the WWE before the injury put a halt to that, leaving his WWE status in question.
When asked about his position with the company by a fan on Twitter, Benjamin set the record straight quickly:
“Let me clear this up now. I am not signed to @WWE,” Benjamin wrote. “I never signed due to injury. While that could change, as of 4-16-2017 I am a free agent”
