F4WOnline.com is reporting that according to a source within WWE, it would not be too much of a surprise to see Shelton Benjamin return to the company some time down the line. Prior to Benjamin’s release, he went back to college, which may have factored into WWE’s decision to let him go. Benjamin went back to school to get his degree, and it’s being said that he will receive it at the end of the semester, which would then free him up to return to WWE.

In addition to being one of the most unique and artistic professional wrestlers in the world, Hardy is also an avid painter and designer.
"I was asked to create a design for a race truck. When I asked, ‘what kind of design?’ they said ‘just something like your paintings,’ and that’s exactly what they got. After seeing the final design, I was blown away!," Hardy said.
"I’m thrilled that Jeff wanted to show his skills and design this truck," Sadler said. "It will be cool to see what the NASCAR and TNA Wrestling fans think of the design, and hopefully Jeff’s large fan base in North Carolina will be in Charlotte pulling for us."
