During his recent appearance on Chris Jericho’s “Talk Is Jericho” podcast, WWE Superstar Sheamus told a story about how Shelton Benjamin offended him during their 2009 feud in WWE.
“I’ve got no problem with Shelton, he’s an amazing athlete. But every time we were sitting down he was calling me rookie. I don’t know what it was. I’d never been anything but nice to him and I just wanted to make the feud good,” said Sheamus during the podcast.
Sheamus noted that shortly after his feud with Benjamin, he was moved to RAW, where he won the WWE Championship from John Cena. “The Celtic Warrior” pointed out that the victory made him feel validated and made him feel like he proved a point.
Meanwhile, Shelton Benjamin caught win of the story, and while he claims he doesn’t remember doing it, he did extend a sincere apology to the WWE performer.
“If in fact I offended you by repeatedly calling [you] rookie, please accept my sincerest apology. But I personally don’t recall one time,” noted Benjamin on Twitter. You can check out the tweet below.
