R-Truth sends heartfelt message to former WWE star Shelton Benjamin after he makes AEW debut
WWE Superstar R-truth recently reacted to Shelton Benjamin making his All Elite Wrestling (AEW) debut. The former United States Champion made his way to Tony Khan's promotion on last night's Dynamite episode.
On September 21, 2023, Shelton Benjamin was released from the Sports Entertainment Juggernaut as a part of the budget cuts. Since then, the star has competed in several independent promotions such as APC, PROGRESS, and others.
The 49-year-old made a surprise appearance on the latest AEW Dynamite with MVP, a former WWE Superstar and member of The Hurt Business. MVP playfully introduced Benjamin as his business partner.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the former United States Champion expressed his gratitude to AEW fans for the overwhelming love and support they showed upon his arrival. In response, R-Truth sent a heartfelt message to Shelton Benjamin, acknowledging his well-deserved recognition.
"You deserve it Ray!!🙌🏿🔥🙏🏾," he wrote.

Top WWE star betrays R-Truth ahead of Bad Blood
On the latest episode of Monday Night RAW, The Miz and R-Truth (The Awesome Truth) reunited after a long time to compete inside the squared circle. The babyface duo faced The Authors of Pain in a tag team match on the September 30, 2024, edition of the red brand.
In the final moments of the match, Truth attempted to tag in The A-Lister. However, as soon as The Miz entered the ring, he shockingly turned heel, delivering a powerful kick to the former 24/7 Champion. This unexpected betrayal allowed The Final Testament to secure a decisive victory.
During an exclusive interview with Cathy Kelly, the 52-year-old veteran broke his silence, stating that The Miz misunderstood him and thought he was part of The Judgment Day.
"I think he got confused. Miz got confused. He thinks I'm still in Judgment Day," R-Truth said.
Only time will tell what the future holds for The Awesome Truth after the major betrayal ahead of the WWE Bad Blood Premium Live Event.
