Bobby Roode, Shelton Benjamin Make Smackdown Debuts
Two new faces showed up on Smackdown this week, as Shelton Benjamin returned and Bobby Roode made his main roster debut. You can see pics and video of both debuts below.
Benjamin made his debut when Daniel Bryan revealed that he had made a deal with Kurt Angle in exchange for Jason Jordan going to Raw, Angle would help sign an old friend for his roster. That person ended up being Benjamin, who Bryan said would team with Gable on next week’s episode.
Meanwhile, Bobby Roode made his debut in the opening match as he defeated Aiden English. He was interviewed after the match and congratulated Smackdown’s bosses on signing him, the hottest free agent in sports entertainment.
