• Shelton Benjamin’s Possible New WWE Name Revealed
As we noted before, former RAW Tag Team Champion Chad Gable might be getting a name change on WWE programming soon.
According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, Chad Gable’s new name might be “Shorty G”:
“The future of Chad Gable might be obscured a bit. There was a promo that they released after SmackDown with Shelton Benjamin talking about King of the Ring and Chad Gable was standing next to him. He said, ‘hey Shelton, what’s up?’ Shelton looked at him and said, ‘Shorty!’ and walked away.
We noted a couple of weeks ago that WWE has copyrighted the name ‘Shorty G’ for a potential character. If Chad Gable is going to be ‘Shorty G,’ if that’s where they’re going with it — I don’t sense a bunch of upward mobility in his future with his character.”
According to WrestlingNewsCo, WWE officials are planning to put Gable & Benjamin together and give them a big push in the tag team division.
With that being said, WWE officials are planning to change Benjamin’s name to “Shelty B”.
So it looks like we’re going to see the tag team of Shelty B & Shorty G on WWE programming soon.
