“I mean, I think me and Brock, and Gable, and Bobby, we are all a testament to that kind of thinking. If you bring in athletes, you’re going to get great talent, great matches, great performances. I kind of have mixed feelings on only focusing on that. Because again, there’s a lot of great talent out there that I think deserves a shot. So to say we are going to focus primarily on this product type vs. this I have mixed feelings about that. But it is what it is, just like everything, card subject to change. This could just be a phase, but I also believe that great talent, they’re going to find their way here no matter what. It’s more of a hurdle, not a wall.”

Facing Brock Lesnar or not, Shelton Benjamin has a very clear goal for his career in pro wrestling. He wants to become WWE champion.

“Honestly I want a WWE Championship. NXT is great and if given the opportunity, of course, I would go down there. I would love to work with them. To help nurture this new talent for the next generation, because we need that. But if you’re asking me personally, I want the WWE Championship. After the WWE Championship, then we can start focusing elsewhere.”
