Shelton Benjamin addresses how AEW fans reacted to his debut with the company

While speaking on the AEW Unrestricted podcast, Shelton Benjamin addressed how AEW fans reacted to his debut with the company…

“You know, having done this for so long — to this day, any time someone even recognizes me in the street, I’m honestly very flattered. So to have that reaction, especially [from] the AEW crowd, you know, being a quote-unquote ‘former WWE guy,’ I was humbled. I was overjoyed.

I was actually kind of worried about how the reaction would be. But like I said, the fans have stuck by me through thick and thin all these years. And it was very heartwarming is the best way I could put it. Because I really appreciate it, and I loved it, and I could rewatch that moment over and over and over.” (quote courtesy of F4WOnline.com)
