Shelton Benjamin Not Returning to WWE at This Time

I am both disappointed & sadden to announce that due to a serious injury to my shoulder I will not be returning to @WWE at this time.

For now I will have to put pro-wrestling to the side as I prepare to undergo surgery to repair my torn rotator.

This comes as a shock to me as i am no stranger to performing while in pain yet I had no idea of the severity of my condition

Thank you @WWE for helping me discover this situation & for giving me an opportunity to return. I will be back
