Shelton Benjamin is close to Mia Yim in real life
Shelton Benjamin and Mia Yim share a special bond and Yim considers him a big brother. Benjamin had the following to say about Yim in an interview:
“Like I said she’s my little sister I love her to death and it’s funny, even with our little banters back and forth on Twitter and Instagram and everything it’s all love. It’s all fun,” Benjamin said.
Mia Yim also opened up about Shelton Benjamin helping her back in the day, when he found out that she was dealing with domestic abuse.

Shelton Benjamin made his way to WWE's main roster way in the spring of 2002.
