#1. Hope is true: Possible twist in Jeff Hardy-Sheamus storyline?

It seems as though there's going to be yet another twist in the Jeff Hardy-Sheamus storyline. While Sheamus has been publicly making fun of Hardy's past issues with DUI, he was also implicated as the man who framed Hardy in his "accident" with Elias.

The commentators and production team were reportedly told to specifically mention the attacker as a man with a red beard and red hair, and Paul Davis of Wrestlingnews.co noted that this could be to set up the return of Sami Zayn.

Paul Davis noted that Sami Zayn is another Superstar who also has red hair and a red beard. The report states that the former Intercontinental Champion will make his WWE TV return soon and it was speculated that he could be revealed as the real attacker instead of Sheamus.

We hope this is true because it would be a great way to re-introduce Sami Zayn to television. Moreover, it's a fresh and interesting feud to go forward with.
