In a recent interview with Inside the Ropes, Shelton Benjamin opened up about his time in AEW so far and expressed his surprise at the warm reception from fans. He admitted that the level of appreciation and support he’s received for his matches has exceeded his expectations. Benjamin reflected on his experiences in AEW, noting that the crowd’s reactions have made a significant impact on him. His most recent match took place on Saturday’s AEW Collision, where he faced off against Daniel Garcia but unfortunately came up short in the contest. Despite the loss, Benjamin’s gratitude for the fans’ response remains clear as he continues his journey in AEW.
Shelton Benjamin said:
“My biggest surprise is that the fans really appreciate what I bring to the table. I found that I have a lot of great chemistry with the guys I’ve been working. I feel like I’ve been having nothing but just great matches with pretty much everyone I’ve been in the ring with. Just the fact that I’ve been able to gel so well with guys who I never have worked with before and put on great performances, that has been the biggest surprise to me. It shouldn’t be, because again, these are some of the best athletes in the world, some of the best professional wrestlers in the world. But it’s definitely a pleasant surprise.“
