Shelton Benjamin: I Want Every Accolade I Can Stack On My Resume, Including A World Championship

Shelton Benjamin talks about gold.

While appearing on the Gabby AF podcast, Shelton Benjamin was asked about his aspirations to win championship gold soon, including the idea of winning a World Championship in a wrestling promotion.

“When it boils down to it, no matter what I’m doing, I’m definitely in it to be champion. I also get it; sometimes it’s not your time, and the story is not about you, but no matter what I’m doing, I’m in it to win championships. Any title. Do I want it to be centered around me? Yes, I love the spotlight. I’ve always wanted the spotlight, but the people in charge have different plans, and when you’re working for WWE, you go with whatever their plan is. That’s okay. I can accept that. Make no mistake, I still want a world championship, and I want every accolade I can stack on my resume. I want to be champ. Period.”

Benjamin will face a former world champion when he takes on Swerve Strickland, a former AEW World Champion, on the Halloween Eve edition of AEW Dynamite.
