According to PWInsider.com, former Total Nonstop Action Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion Rob Van Dam is planning a return to the company (possibly as soon as Sunday's Victory Road pay-per-view as the wrestler who accepts Robbie E's open challenge for the World Television Championship?).
Van Dam's contract reportedly is up at the end of the month, but the article states the contract possibly contained a option for another year, which could be exercised by either him on TNA.
He had seriously considered returning to WWE late last year because he was unhappy with the direction TNA was going creatively but, with the recent firing of Vince Russo as head writer and some changes in the creative department, Van Dam is interested in returning.

Despite Reports To The Contrary, Four WWE Officials Insist Bloom's Coming Back To WWE
Earlier this week, F4WOnline.com reported former WWE Intercontinental Champion Matt Bloom, who wrestled from 1999 to 2004 under the names Prince Albert, Albert, and A-Train, had signed a contract to return to the company, which, on Saturday, Bloom denied on Twitter, stating his wife just gave birth to a baby and he would be out of action for New Japan Pro Wrestling, where he wrestles as Giant Bernard, until their next tour.
Well, now, PWInsider.com reported four WWE sources are saying he is returning and will play a henchman to executive vice president of talent relations and Raw SuperShow interim general manager John Laurinaitis, joining after WrestleMania 28 and feuding with John Cena, as Cena has no storyline set after he faces (and beats) Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in the April 1 pay-per-view's main event.
However, PWInsider.com has since deleted the mention of a Cena feud, but not the article itself.
