WWE superstar Shelton Benjamin has seemed a bit off in recent weeks on SmackDown Live, but here are a few suggestions that might help him find some clarity.

What is going on with Shelton Benjamin? Two weeks in a row on WWE SmackDown he was asked a question to which he gave no answer. He looked around like he was hiding something or possibly going crazy, and then he left the interview.

Maybe he’s stressed for not being on TV often. Maybe he hasn’t gotten over messing up his opportunity to win the WWE 24/7 Championship when he grabbed the belt without pinning the champ. Maybe he wants out of his contract.

Who knows?

There’s no way to know exactly what Shelton Benjamin is struggling with right now, but I do have some suggestions that might help him come back down to earth.

1. Take some time away from screens

In the digital age, it’s becoming more and more difficult to stay away from screens, and being in professional wrestling does not make it any easier.

There is, for one, the constant demand to be active on social media. Between all of the other social media platforms WWE boasts about leading (whether you believe them or not), it can take a toll on your eyesight. Remember that Benjamin was involved in the 24/7 title chase, so social media is a part of the job.

Where is the champion? Who is the champion? He needs to know and the best way is keeping up-to-date on WWE social media. Terrible for your eyes.

Plus, as we see all the time, wrestlers watch TV at a weird angle to give the camera room to frame both the wrestler and the ongoing match. To watch at that angle, your eyes will definitely be strained.

So remember the 20-20-20 rule: for every 20 minutes of screen time, take 20 seconds to look at something that’s 20 feet away.

Bonus 20: break for longer than 20 seconds and stand up to move around if you can.
