#8 Shelton Benjamin

Shelton Benjamin is another one of those guys that hasn't been seen on television in a long time, and he's reportedly unhappy about it. With AEW starting up, WWE will want to keep as much talent around as possible, so it's likely that Shelton Benjamin will find his way into the Royal Rumble match on Sunday.
It will be a small bone, but we should expect WWE to continue doing such things with the threat of a well-financed AEW now in place.
He won't do much besides put somebody over in a big way as he gets eliminated (perhaps by Pete Dunne?), but someone has to do that job. Benjamin can get a platform to impress with his athleticism before that time comes.
Shelton Benjamin, either way, can do his job well enough that he could impress the higher-ups and find his way over to Raw in the next draft, so he could have more time.
