Promoters would struggle to find a more reliable hand than Shelton Benjamin. He might not be the most charismatic man on the mic, but Shelty B can wrestle rings around almost anybody, and he deserves more credit for his role in the rise of The Hurt Business than he'll likely ever get.

The ride ended for a second time in 2023.

Benjamin's second stab at WWE life didn't have the landmark moments of his first, but it was still enjoyable for the most part. The aforementioned Hurt Business stuff, as well as a few select tag bouts alongside Cedric Alexander, were well worth watching.
