During a recent edition of the “AEW Unrestricted” podcast, The Hurt Syndicate’s Shelton Benjamin expressed his desire to capture the AEW World Title.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On wanting to do big things in AEW: “It was a long time coming. We almost made it happen a few times over the past year, but to finally actually be there and to be performing in front of a live crowd on television, all of those things culminated into just for me a great night. So far, it’s been a great experience. I’m enjoying my time there. Like I said, I just want to bring the best of me to the programming. Hopefully, we can do some big things while there. Again, the feeling, surreal because not wanting to harp on my WWE experience too much, but that’s 18 years of my career, so it’s really hard not to reflect and compare the difference. It was humbling. I’m a very humble guy that way, but as far as my actual personality and my in-ring abilities, those have always been there, and it is actually refreshing to be able to show people what I really can do.”
On a world title win being on his agenda: “So far, fans seem to have taken to it. I feel like longtime fans always knew, and new fans are going like, okay, is this the same guy from WWE? Honestly, no, I’m not. I’m off the chain, unrestricted, unleashed, however you want to describe it, I’m able to work to my ability, and I feel like I’ll be able to work to my potential. I have big plans while I’m in AEW, and a world title is definitely on that agenda.”
During a recent appearance on the “My Mom’s Basement with Robbie Fox” podcast, AEW wrestler and producer QT Marshall commented on putting together his match with Big Boom! AJ of the Costco Guys, why he’s proud of the bout, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his match with Big Boom! AJ: “I couldn’t be more happy and proud of what we did and what we accomplished.”
On how the relationship came up with the Costco Guys: “Obviously, WWE has done really well with the Logan Paul stuff. So we’re like, okay, who could we find [that] also has a relationship with wrestling already? And AJ, we saw what he was doing.”
On a potential rematch with Big Boom! AJ: “I think there could be a rematch down the line. I’d love to. I’m in the best shape of my life.”
As we reported last night here on eWn, Chris Jericho attacked Matt Cardona and EFFY at the ‘GCW Highest in the Room 3’ event.
Jericho took to Instagram earlier today to send a message to Matt Cardona, saying the latter “made a big mistake.” He wrote,
“…Hi @themattcardona 👋🌳 you didn’t think that the King of New York would pop up in Los Angeles at your @gamechangerwrestling Indy Event, did you? You made a big mistake forgetting who you’re dealing with……I always get my man! See you at #rohfinalbattle. @aew @ringofhonor”
Cardona will be facing off against Jericho for the ROH World Championship at ROH Final Battle 2024.
