During a recent edition of Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer and former AEW broadcaster Mark Henry discussed Shelton Benjamin making his AEW in-ring debut last week on Dynamite, beating Lio Rush. Henry revealed that he told Tony Khan to sign Benjamin to AEW after he was released by WWE in September 2023. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Mark Henry on telling Tony Khan to sign Shelton Benjamin: “The first day that Shelton got let go, I went to Tony and I said, ‘Tony, you got to pick him in. Bring him in. Let me work with him. Anything. He’s the guy.’ Nothing happened. I’m glad that they’ve seen the error of their ways and they got him on board. Shelton is special, you’ve got to use him like he’s special. It’s only going to be good for everybody in the long run.”

Seems like TK wasn’t necessarily interested in brining him in. MVP must have told him they were a package deal.
It makes sense. He has a quota for black people and doesn't care about talent as it pertains to cacs i.e, jungle boy, young bucks, Darby Allin.
