AEW star takes a shot at Shelton Benjamin; new feud teased

An AEW star has openly taken a shot at Shelton Benjamin and this should come as no surprise to the fans. In doing so, he has teased a new feud with the former WWE Superstar.

The star in question is none other than Max Caster. The member of The Acclaimed is known for his edgy rhetoric and is not afraid to make his feelings known on matters related to wrestling or otherwise.

The former WWE star has been a part of The Hurt Syndicate since moving to AEW and he recently demolished Komander on his Collision debut on Saturday. Caster took to X/Twitter to disapprove of the former WWE star’s presence in AEW and shared a picture, which showed what he thought of Benjamin's presence in AEW.

In the picture, it was him implying that the AEW roster does not want Shelton in the company. This is especially interesting considering that there have been hints that The Acclaimed could split of late.

Max Caster has previously refused to work with Shelton Benjamin

This is not the first time that Max Caster has stoked the flames with Shelton Benjamin as he has done that previously too.

The provocative star, who often sends out messages on social media once again took to X/Twitter to do the same. He sent out a reply to a fan who was talking about who Shelton should be facing next.

Caster took the opportunity to openly reject working with him and wrote:

“I refuse to work with Shelton Benjamin.”

Given that the former WWE star is currently on the periphery in The Hurt Syndicate after Bobby Lashley's arrival, a feud with Max Caster cannot be out of the question. Such a feud would serve two purposes. It would help push Caster as a singles star and also showcase Benjamin as a feared force as he was portrayed in his match against Komander.

The two of them will have to wait until after Full Gear to see how their futures pan out.
