... Lars Sullivan? The colossus from Colorado has been all over social media this past week, posting intense workout videos bearing a very clear and concise message: he's fit again, and raring to crush some folk.

Sullivan was sidelined with a serious knee injury during a match with the Lucha House Party last June, with a prognosis of six to nine months recuperating. It's been over a year since the injury, and clearly Lars is on the comeback trail. He wouldn't be making such a public song and dance of his rehabilitation were a return to action not imminent, and said return could be as soon as SummerSlam.

As mentioned, WWE are looking to capitalise on the feel-good atmosphere of the ThunderDome, and a sudden IC title smash and grab for the returning Lars would certainly create a talking point.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
