  • Updated: Shelton Benjamin Worries Fans With Emotional Dynamite Entrance

    Shelton Benjamin got people talking with his Dynamite entrance.

    The latest episode of the Wednesday night show featured the Hurt Syndicate star facing the new Continental Champion Jon Moxley in an eliminator match.

    Fans noted, however, that Benjamin looked uneasy during his entrance for this bout, with many mentioning how he appeared to have shed tears right before coming out for the fight.

    Update: Benjamin himself has since responded to the concern from fans. The former WWE star noted on Twitter that it was water, not tears, dripping from his head:

    The wrestling veteran would go on to prove why he is considered one of the best in-ring talents in all of the industry as he delivered another instant classic with the Death Riders leader in this opening match of the night.

    Though it was Moxley who picked up the victory in the end. The Continental Champion would steal the pin right before the time limit draw, and the two opponents shared a handshake after the bout.

    It\’s unknown why Benjamin was so emotional before his match on the show. Stay tuned for any update on the matter.

    The Hurt Syndicate were back together with their former partner for one night.

    4th Rope Wrestling, the indie promotion run by rapper Westside Gunn, held a show at WrestleCade on this Friday, 28 November.

    The event featured members of the Hurt Syndicate in MVP and Shelton Benjamin reuniting with their former partner, Cedric Alexander:

    The Hurt Business, consisting of Alexander, Benjamin, MVP, and Bobby Lashley, dominated WWE during the pandemic era. During their original run, the faction saw Lashley winning the WWE title while Shelton and Cedric held the Raw Tag Team Championships.

    After leaving WWE one by one in 2023-24 over creative frustrations, MVP, Shelton Benjamin, and Bobby Lashley would reunite in AEW under the new name of the Hurt Syndicate.

    Alexander, however, missed out on this reunion as he remained with WWE until February this year. After his release from the Endeavor-owned promotion, the former Cruiserweight Champion made his TNA debut instead in June, and has been a regular for the company since then.

    MVP has talked about adding a 4th member to Hurt Syndicate on many occasions and has claimed that he would love for it to be Alexander. Though the wrestling veteran also suggested that the decision is out of his hand and it will have to be a call from Tony Khan.
