#3 Friends: Shelton Benjamin and Brock Lesnar have been pals since college

Shelton Benjamin is currently seen as a veteran on WWE TV after making his return following the WWE Draft back in 2016. Benjamin is currently a member of The Hurt Business where he's a former 24/7 Champion but what many fans are unaware of is the fact that Benjamin and Brock Lesnar have been best friends since college.

Brock Lesnar and Benjamin have been split on their different career paths over the past few years, but the former Champion appeared on Chasing Glory with Lilian Garcia back in February, where he revealed that the two men are still close friends.

“We’re pretty good friends. I feel like, career paths have kind of split us a bit, and for me, it was a situation where, OK, he’s doing his thing, and he’s doing very well at it, I need to focus on me, I need to do my thing.”

Brock Lesnar and Shelton Benjamin were such close friends at one point, that the former Champion is the godfather of The Beast's only daughter Mya Lynn.
