Ex WWE Star Opens Up On Free Agent Options

Shelton Benjamin, who was released by WWE in September 2023 and will become a free agent in December 2023, has provided an update on his wrestling future.

In an interview on The Kurt Angle Show, Benjamin revealed that he is still considering his options and is taking time to decide on his next move.

He said he has received some offers and opportunities, but he has not committed to anything big yet.

Benjamin expressed his desire to enjoy and earn money from his wrestling activities.

He stressed that he is not interested in increasing his fame as he already has fame, but would rather be in a place where he is appreciated, noticed and enjoyed.

Despite a 24-year career in the wrestling industry, Benjamin remains open to exploring different options and finding the right fit for his next chapter in wrestling.

“Temperatures are being measured everywhere,” he said, adding that he was considering various options.

“To be honest, I don’t know,” Shelton told Kurt Angle on the Kurt Angle Show when asked what’s next for him. “I’m still weighing options.

I’ve had a knock on my door here and there. I have no commitments, nothing major to announce aside from a few indie dates and a lot of autograph sessions. I’ve been taking my time on deciding what I want to do next.

I am at a point in my career where I want to have fun. If it’s not worth it, I want to have fun and make money, if it’s not worth it, I just don’t want to do it.

I’m not trying to build a name, I have a name, but I want to be where I’m appreciated and featured and can have some fun. I’ve never had the superstar complex where, ‘I have to do this.’

No, January 10 marked 24 years in the business for me and I’ve been extremely fortunate with injuries and family life that I can still go out and tear it up with the best of them.

I’m just not sure where that’s going to be at this point. I’m taking temperatures all over the place.”

One of his upcoming events where fans can see Shelton Benjamin is with an all-star cast in Australia, where he is scheduled to perform
