In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet as part of the INSIGHT With Chris Van Vliet podcast, former WWE superstar Shelton Benjamin discussed several topics, including whether his release from the WWE came as a surprise to him.

“Yes and no, yes because I don’t think, I know there was more for me to do there, there were more opportunities there, and I’m more surprised that they chose not to take advantage of those opportunities, but I also knew that if they weren’t going to do anything, then it’s just a matter of time.

We got a lot of talent there, a lot of rotation, I’ve been there for a long time, I understand it’s a business, so yeah, it sucks for me, but at the end of the day, it’s a business.”
