WWE recently announced that Shelton Benjamin would be returning to WWE on the SmackDown brand. Benjamin revealed on Twitter today that he is no longer returning to tend to a torn rotator cuff.
You can see his tweets below:
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
For now I must refocus my energy on repairing my body and mind.
