As we reported over the weekend, WWE has signed Matt “A-Train” Bloom to return after WrestleMania 28. There are conflicting reports on what his role will be with some sources saying he was planned to be the new henchman for John Laurinaitis while other sources say he'll be involved in a top feud with John Cena. Despite Bloom denying the reports, several sources report that it is a done deal and the “Lord Tensai” teaser that aired on RAW this week is for his return.
A source close to Bloom reports that his wife recently had a baby. He's also about to turn 40 years old so it made more sense for him to return to WWE now.
According to the same source, Bloom is set to be “pushed right to the top” when he returns.
Yoshi Tatsu tweeted Monday night that the letters seen on Tensai's body were Japanese and Tensai itself means "a natural disaster or an act of God."
A fan wrote on Twitter that the back tattoo was common and could be anyone. Bloom replied and agreed. However, a photo posted online reveals that the similarities are too strong. If you're interested, you can click here to view proof that Lord Tensai is really A-Train.
We'll keep you posted as we hear more.

Also there are conflicting reports that WWE has severed ties with FCW, right now all that is confirmed is that FCW TV will be getting a new location and tv deal. But other reports are saying that all FCW talent will be relocated to Stanford, Connecticut and then WWE will see what happens from there. Nothing is confirmed.
WWE.com has posted an article with comments from WWE Executive Vice President of Talent Triple H in response to reports of FCW closing down.
"It is absolutely not true. FCW is not closing," Triple H said. "I don't know how the rumor started but I believe it's a situation where the 'dirt sheets' want to believe they have the scoop on everything. If anything, we are in the process of ramping up our entire developmental system. It's the lifeblood of our company. It's what feeds our future and in no way are we going to close it down."
