Shelton Benjamin has a big list of AEW stars he wants to battle in the ring. The new AEW star was asked about who he would like to work with during an appearance on Busted Open Radio and he named a number of top stars including Will Ospreay and Powerhouse Hobbs.
“AEW is flooded with great talents,” Benjamin said (per Wrestling Inc). “My first thought, because I think the guy is phenomenal, is Will Ospreay. I would love to work with Moxley … I don’t even know we’ve shared a locker room until now. Swerve is someone I wanted to wrestle, MJF … Hobbs.”
He continued, “There’s even some old, familiar faces, there’s obviously, I’ve always felt that myself and Christian have dynamite matches, obviously me and Edge had dynamite matches. There’s just so much talent. When I start going down the list, there’s so many first-time opportunities there … it’s a very long list, but those are just the highlights, those aren’t the only names on that list.”
Benjamin has since faced Strickland on last week’s AEW Dynamite, with Swerve picking up the win. He is 2 – 1 in the company with wins over Lio Rush and Sammy Guevara.
