In a heartwarming gesture, a former WWE star has taken to social media to extend birthday wishes to Mia Yim, who is celebrating her 35th birthday today.
Last year saw the release of numerous WWE talents, including notable figures like Dolph Ziggler and Shelton Benjamin. While Ziggler ventured into New Japan Pro-Wrestling, TNA Wrestling, and the independent circuit post-release, Benjamin’s rumored discussions with All Elite Wrestling sparked a humorous reaction from Max Caster, suggesting the promotion wasn’t interested.
Today, Benjamin added a touch of levity to Yim’s special day by sharing a playful birthday message on his Instagram account.
In his jestful post, Benjamin affectionately dubbed Yim as “dummy” and teased her about reaching the milestone of officially being deemed old. Accompanied by a series of amusing photos, his message elicited laughs from followers.
The jovial greeting read:
“Happy Birthday Dummy. I hope the grinch steals your Christmas presents, your Easter eggs are rotten, your car has two flat tires and no spare, your shoe has a rock in it, and your Birthday cake is a dry carrot cake with no icing. Love ya p**py pants, congratulations @miayimofficial you’re officially OLD!!!”
Amidst the laughter, Mia Yim has been reflecting on her journey in WWE. Following her release in November 2021, she made a triumphant return the following year, briefly aligning with The O.C. faction before its disbandment.
As she navigates her path in WWE NXT, Yim expressed contentment, likening her experience to the camaraderie and support she felt during her earlier stint in NXT. In an exclusive interview last year, she expressed gratitude for the opportunities and sense of belonging within the promotion.
Shelton Benjamin and Mia Yim share a longstanding, lighthearted friendship, and while Benjamin’s WWE future remains uncertain, their banter continues to entertain fans, leaving them curious about potential future appearances.
