On le sait, tôt ou tard, Hulk Hogan va revenir à la WWE. La compagnie de Mr.McMahon a dû se séparer du Hulkster, suite à ses propos racistes, en 2015. Suite au main event d’hier soir, Hogan a écrit sur Twitter son intérêt de devenir le manager de Braun Strowman. Le géant hier soir a dominé le combat et a eu une très belle réaction du public. Il y a des rumeurs pour un combat entre Strowman et Lesnar, lors de No Mercy, le 24 septembre. Peut-être, serra-t-il de retour dans les prochaines semaines?

Un autre ancien lutteur de la ROH a signé avec la WWE. Il s’agit de Lio Rush. Lio a seulement 22 ans, celui-ci mesure 5′ et 6” et pèse 160 livres. On s’imagine qu’il serra dans la catégorie Cruiserweight. Il est un favori du public dans la scène indépendante. Rush pourrait être une belle petite surprise à la WWE. La WWE a confirmé sa signature sur leur site officiel.
WWE has announced a blockbuster signing in the form of 22-year-old prodigy Lio Rush.
Internationally recognized as one of the ring’s top high-flyers, Rush officially joined the WWE Performance Center today in Orlando, Fla.
Born Lionel Gerard Green, of Lanham, Md., Rush wrestled in high school, becoming a two-time All-American and three-time state qualifier. He began training for sports-entertainment in 2014 and, in less than three years, has competed in 43 states, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Germany and Ireland. In 2016, he won Ring of Honor’s Top Prospect Tournament, and earlier this year, he held the Combat Zone Wrestling Heavyweight Championship.
The 160-pounder quickly became a fan favorite on the independent scene for his daredevil creativity and unbelievable resiliency, as well as his “Dragon’s Call” finisher, a devastating frog splash that recalls D’Lo Brown’s split-leg variation. In joining the WWE PC, Rush reunites with a former tag team partner, current NXT Superstar The Velveteen Dream, with whom Rush co-held the Maryland Championship Wrestling Tag Team Titles in 2015.
