Immediately after the brand split, we learned that Shelton Benjamin would be returning to SmackDown Live. This was definitely a necessity, as we’ve seen the same faces in the mix on SmackDown Live, week after week now. Sadly, a torn rotator cuff put his return on hold. Having successfully undergone surgery, Benjamin’s return should be on the cards soon.
Benjamin’s return is of the utmost importance because he can seamlessly fit into any role on Smackdown. He could be allied or feuding with American Alpha, with their amateur wrestling gimmicks, he could be in a mid card feud with The Miz or even at the top of the card with AJ Styles or John Cena.

The fact that he's a familiar face also adds a whole new dimension to his character.
