It’s being dubbed Black Thursday by WWE fans after some of the most beloved superstars of recent years were released today following the TKO merger.
Dolph Ziggler, Shelton Benjamin, Top Dolla, Elias, Rick Boogs, Emma, Aliyah and Riddick Moss were all released from the company. Since his release, Shelton Benjamin has taken to Instagram to share a post seemingly hopeful for the future, and several stars have floated the idea of him going into the Hall of Fame.
Benjamin joined OVW 23 years ago and rose through the company’s ranks before his first release in 2010. Benjamin then returned in 2017 and has been part of several high-profile storylines in recent years.
Former WWE superstar Lince Dorado, Ricochet and a number of other names in Benjamin’s comments section called for him to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, which could happen as soon as 2024.
Everyone at Sportskeeda would like to wish Shelton Benjamin the best of luck in his future endeavors following his release.
