Welcome to the WWE roundup, where we dive into the biggest happenings in the wrestling world. We’ve got some significant updates involving key figures like Roman Reigns, Charlotte Flair, and the legendary Hulk Hogan.
Hulk Hogan, in particular, had some intriguing revelations. Additionally, more information has come to light following a recent WWE talent release. Let’s break down today’s top stories.
WWE’s Plans for Charlotte Flair’s Return
Charlotte Flair has been absent from both RAW and SmackDown throughout 2024, but her comeback might be closer than expected. The Queen suffered an ACL, MCL, and meniscus tear last December, sidelining her for around nine months. With her return now on the horizon, WWE seems to be preparing some major plans for her.
According to Viper Reports (PWN), the 14-time world champion is set to return on the SmackDown brand. There are discussions about her challenging Nia Jax for the WWE Women’s Championship in the near future. Another potential matchup with Tiffany Stratton is also being considered.
It’ll be fascinating to see if Flair’s bout with Stratton happens due to a possible Money in the Bank cash-in scenario.
Hulk Hogan Signs New WWE Deal
Hulk Hogan, a two-time WWE Hall of Famer, recently made a big announcement about his future in WWE. During his appearance on Logan Paul’s IMPAULSIVE podcast, Hogan revealed he signed a fresh five-year deal with WWE. This agreement is mostly focused on merchandising and licensing rights.
Hogan also hinted that if WWE wanted him to be involved in WrestleMania, it could be part of the contract. However, it’s unclear whether fans will see The Hulkster back on-screen anytime soon.
Hulk Hogan’s Storyline Idea for Logan Paul and Roman Reigns
On IMPAULSIVE, Hulk Hogan shared more of his thoughts, particularly on Logan Paul’s potential turn to being a babyface. The WWE legend believes that Paul would excel as a good guy and even suggested a storyline where he could help Roman Reigns in his feud with The Bloodline:
“Here’s an idea I had. When Roman returns, The Bloodline beats him down, and Logan hits the ring to save Roman. That would get him over instantly. It’d be a classic babyface move,” Hogan explained.
Currently, Logan Paul is off SmackDown after losing the United States Championship to LA Knight at SummerSlam. Whether he returns as a hero or stays a villain remains to be seen.
Alleged Details on Odyssey Jones’ Release
There has been considerable discussion surrounding Odyssey Jones’ status in WWE. Recently, it has been reported that Jones was released from the company following allegations of domestic violence. Bryan Alvarez addressed the issue on Wrestling Observer Live, with Dr. Chris Featherstone also providing additional insights.
The situation allegedly began at least two months ago but became public when one of the parties involved shared their side of the story on social media. Although no formal charges were filed against Odyssey Jones, there seems to be a negative history between him and his ex-partner.
According to reports, this case had been ongoing for months, with one party previously filing an order of protection. While no domestic violence charges have been pressed, previous allegations against the other party included harassment and threats to friends and neighbours.
