Does Velvet/Tara Open the Door for Chris Sabin?

I remember when Velvet resigned with the company, seeing an article with her talking about Sabin's imminent return to the company as well. That piece gave every indication that they were still together.

As of now though I can't find that article, or anything else for that matter, that would confirm one way or another the state of their relationship. I do know they were taking bookings for appearances and/or signings together during the summer, but that is admittedly a while back.

No searches for a relationship between Velvet and Mason Ryan turned anything up either, that is definitely the first I've heard of that rumor, which seems quite unlikely.

Typically with these things, if there isn't alot of smoke about it, there is no fire. The two have been dating for nearly three years(since not long after she broke up with shane helms), if they had ended their relationship I believe that it would pretty common knowledge amongst people who follow the sport. I remember it being very well known when her and Helms split. So I until someone can show a tweet or something concrete from one or the other, I'd say it is safe to assume they are still dating.

Velvet needs to be paired up with Sabin and just let him loose by being himself. They can easily be the Edge & Lita of TNA if booked right.

I just want to see Sabin with the X-Division title. He was always one of my favorites. Pairing him up with anybody just doesn't hold a lot of interest to me really.

You're right on when he was injured, but you're off on the recovery timeline. When Sabin had the surgery they estimated he would be able to return to the ring in 6-8 months. It has been seven now, which puts him in the range to be returning anytime between now and Lockdown.

It seems that after the current UK tour, which gives him an extra month, Sabin should be ready to return to TV when they get back to the Impact Zone. It just remains to be seen whether or not creative has a plan for him.
