As anyone that follows TNA knows, Jeff Hardy signed a contract with the company at last week's PPV. Now that Hardy is officially under contract he will be undoubtedly pushed as a main attraction in TNA right from the get-go. I have heard rumors that Hardy will defeat Monty Brown at this week's PPV, as TNA really wants Hardy to have a title shot against Jeff Jarrett in hopes that he can give a little kick to the PPV buyrates.

Alex Shelley signed a contract with TNA on 7/8. There is no word on whether Shelley will stick with his Ring of Honor commitments unless TNA and ROH settle their differences. TNA is letting Shelley work the dates that he has already commited to, but other than that is unknown at this time.

Shelley has also been telling everyone backstage that he had no input regarding the "Baby Bear" name that TNA management gave to him.
