10 WWE Wrestlers You Forgot Worked In Ring Of Honor

10. Shelton Benjamin

In 2010 Shelton Benjamin was put in the unenviable position of being released from the WWE. Having started his wrestling career with Vince McMahon’s company, this was the first time The Gold Standard was forced to prove himself in the vast world of independent wrestling.

Fortunately for Benjamin, his longtime partner Charlie Haas was also released by WWE that year and The World’s Greatest Tag Team reunited in Ring of Honor. Just a few months after debuting, the former Team Angle members defeated The Kings of Wrestling to win the ROH World Tag Team Championships. They would go on to hold the titles for nearly all of 2011 before dropping the titles to The Briscoe Brothers. They would go on to have one more reign with the tag championships before Haas would leave the company.

Benjamin would only wrestle one singles match in Ring of Honor, his last with the company, losing to Mike Bennett at Final Battle 2013 before heading to New Japan Pro Wrestling fulltime.
