Alignment: Heel
Titles Held: BWF Tag Team Champions (with Charlie Haas)

How's this for a contingency plan? A charter member of Team Angle - the group responsible for having Kurt Angle's back -- Shelton Benjamin is a collegiate All-American in track and a four-time All-American in wrestling. Rumor has it, he was the only man capable of taking down Brock Lesnar. Luckily, the two were on the same team, competing for the University of Minnesota. It seems like a no-brainer that Benjamin would come to WWE and align himself with Angle. The Superstars have two of the best amateur backgrounds in WWE history. Benjamin could have continued his amateur wrestling career - perhaps trying for the Olympic team. But, as a lifelong WWE fan, he jumped at the opportunity to become a Superstar. But, with the WWE not offering enough competition he has put it in his past. Along with team mates Charlie Haas and Kurt Angle, Shelton has joined the BWF to help their good friend Stephanie McMahon to gain the control that she deserves.
