"Always available to share a laugh/cry" - 16-year veteran sends emotional message to Edge

Edge recently took to Twitter and shared that he had completed 25 years in WWE. Sixteen-year veteran Shelton Benjamin quoted the Rated-R Superstar's tweet to send an emotional message.

On January 10, 2000, Benjamin signed a contract with WWE (then WWF) and was placed in its developmental territory, Ohio Valley Wrestling. He was paired with his former college roommate Brock Lesnar. On April 22, 2010, Benjamin was released from WWE.

Benjamin returned to the Stamford-based promotion in 2017 and was paired with Chad Gable. He is currently competing alongside his tag team partner Cedric Alexander.

The former Intercontinental Champion took to Twitter and quoted Edge's 25-year celebration tweet. He said that the former WWE Champion is one of the greatest minds in the business and called the Rated-R Superstar his friend, mentor, and brother for the past 20 years.

​

"Easily One of the greatest minds in the business. For the last 20th I have called him friend, mentor, and Brother. Always available to share a laugh/cry or lend a hand. His resume speaks for itself. One greatest ever. Congratulations on 25yrs @EdgeRatedR."

25 years ago today was my first match as Edge on television. Millions of miles, millions of faces, amazing experiences, lots of injuries, accomplishments that didn’t even exist when I started, but way more laughs than anything else. Having a second chance to do this has filled me… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
