Speaking with Jamal Niaz at “For The Love of Wrestling” (via Monopoly Events), Shelton Benjamin was asked about some people he would like to wrestle, naming two AEW stars.
Over the weekend, Fightful reported that Benjamin had been in recent talks with AEW about possible appearances.
“Okada, while I worked alongside him in New Japan, we never actually had a match. So I would love to work with Okada. Obviously, I would love to work with Will Ospreay because I think that guy’s phenomenal. I’ve been watching him for years. People call me athletic, but he does stuff that I couldn’t even, it would put me in traction if I even tried some of the moves he does, but I would love to work with him. I think it could be a lot of fun. So those names are at the top of my list. But obviously, I mean, I enjoy what I do, I love what I do, and I can pretty much mesh with anybody, so it’s just a matter of what they think. But as far as AEW goes, that door’s open. My door is open. I haven’t eliminated any possibilities as of yet,” Benjamin said. “Again, the ball’s really in their court. But like I said, it’s pro wrestling, so you never know what’s gonna happen.”
