– Ring of Honor has announced that Shelton Benjamin has been “suspended”, which is a storyline development to write him out of current storylines while he tours with NJPW this month. The reason given for the suspension was “attacking various ROH officials and staff including Senior Official Todd Sinclair, as well as an assault on Rhett Titus with a chair.”
The statement noted that Benjamin will return to ROH in Charlotte, NC on September 8th.
