In multiple posts via Twitter/X, AEW star Shelton Benjamin responded to a claim that he “didn’t have charisma and couldn’t get over with the crowd.” The exchange started when a fan commented on why Benjamin never won a world title in WWE…

Fan: “It’s easy to look back and say something like this Shelton Benjamin didn’t have charisma and he couldn’t get over with the crowd although he was a great in ring wrestler. Guys like Ricochet, Aleister Black, Andrade etc suffers the same fate as Shelton Benjamin.”

Benjamin: “I don’t think you’re old enough to look back far enough so I’ll cut you some slack but Being over with the fans was the one thing Ive never lacked.”

The comments continued…

Fan: “You was one of my favorite mid card wrestlers growing up I just never seen you as a world champion and that’s okay lol·”

Benjamin: “So again, you were a fan, but also according to you I never got over with the Fans, you being among them. Being over & being champ are not synonymous. You not seeing me as champ material I can only respect, so can you answer my question now, we are all still waiting.”
