Breaking news, brothers! Hulk Hogan, the guy who’s wrestled for decades and still hasn’t run out of red and yellow tank tops, won’t be at this weekend’s “WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event” in San Antonio. And no, it’s not because the crowd booed him so hard on Netflix’s “WWE Raw” debut that Vince McMahon’s toupee shifted—this time, it’s family drama!
According to PWInsider’s Mike Johnson, Hogan’s absence isn’t due to crowd reactions or the ghost of past controversies. Instead, it’s because his son, Nick Hogan, is tying the knot! Congratulations to Nick, but let’s hope the family event goes smoother than Hogan’s last few public appearances. (Also, no word on if Brooke’s recent baby news has made the family group chat yet, considering, you know, awkwardness.)
Hulk and Jesse: Still No Hugs, Just Shrugs
Despite Hogan appearing in the commercials for SNME, the real buzz was around another legend making his return—Jesse “The Body” Ventura. Ventura announced his return on social media Thursday, making fans wonder if WWE was trolling us all by putting both Ventura and Hogan on the same billing.
For those of you not keeping up with wrestling history, here’s the tea: Hogan once admitted to blocking Ventura’s plans to unionize pro wrestling. Since then, their relationship has been icier than Stone Cold’s beer cooler. Thankfully, Ventura seems fine flying solo, as he’s already set to call the night’s main event alongside Michael Cole and Pat McAfee.
Main Event Chaos (Without Hogan)
While Hogan won’t be flexing his 24-inch pythons on NBC, Ventura’s involvement in the first SNME revival episode has fans buzzing. The show’s main event? Cody Rhodes vs. Kevin Owens for the Undisputed WWE Championship. And yes, Ventura’s probably still finding ways to roast Cole from the commentary booth.
So, there you have it—Hogan’s absence isn’t about heat, just family priorities. But if you think this is the last we’ll hear of Hogan and Ventura’s silent feud, you’re probably as naïve as someone expecting Hogan to wear a new color scheme.
