Shelton Benjamin

One of the most athletically gifted performers of his generation, the former two-time WWE Tag Team Champion alongside Charlie Haas — billed as The World's Greatest Tag Team — spent the bulk of his career in WWE, where he also captured the Intercontinental Championship and earned legendary status for his blistering in-ring athleticism. After his first WWE run ended in 2010, he added two ROH World Tag Team Championship reigns with Haas before venturing to NJPW and Pro Wrestling Noah as Shelton X Benjamin, a member of Suzuki-gun.

Benjamin made his AEW debut in October 2024, reuniting with MVP and Bobby Lashley under the banner of The Hurt Syndicate. On January 22, 2025, he and Lashley defeated Private Party to capture the AEW World Tag Team Championship. The reign lasted 214 days before Brodido (Bandido and Brody King) dethroned them at Forbidden Door. Benjamin is locked in on a three-year AEW deal, and The Hurt Syndicate has since turned face, feuding with The Demand and pursuing the AEW World Trios Championship.
