WWE Considering A "Shooters" Stable For SmackDown
As noted, there's talk that Shelton Benjamin still may return to WWE once he heals from rotator cuff surgery in around 6 months.
There's been talk of possibly doing a "shooters" stable with Benjamin, Jack Swagger and Dolph Ziggler on SmackDown. The stable would be something along the lines of the old WCW "Varsity Club" stable with Rick Steiner, Mike Rotunda, Steve Williams, Kevin Sullivan and Dan Spivey.
SmackDown Superstar Chad Gable was previously tapped to lead a shooters group in WWE NXT but the idea was dropped because Vince McMahon doesn't like those types of gimmicks and it would hurt everyone involved, according to The Observer.
