Hulk Hogan “wasn’t racist,” says Vince McMahon. The former chairman of WWE made his first major appearance for an interview on TMZ’s The Real Hulk Hogan documentary, where he defended the WWE veteran for his racist remarks from 2015. In the audio clip, he could be heard using the N-word and inappropriate racial comments about his daughter’s boyfriend, which was part of a s*x tape.
During the interview (via X), Mr. McMahon defended the Sterling Golden, claiming that he knew him inside out and believed that, despite his comments, he was not “racist.” He said,
I knew he wasn’t racist. I’ve been with him for so many years. He wasn’t a racist. He said some racist things, and he should pay for that, and he did.

Former WWE wrestler Chris Jericho once got into an altercation with Brock Lesnar, and it almost cost the Beast Incarnate his nose. It all dates back to ‘SummerSlam’ 2016, when Lesnar was fighting a match against Randy Orton, and had a few tricks up his sleeve that did not sit right with Jericho.
If you don’t remember the controversial match, Lesnar repeatedly hit his opponent on the head with his elbows. Jericho’s concern was that elbows to the side of the head could end fatally if things went wrong.
Check out the match with the bloody ending below:
Jericho did not know if it was all planned or if Lesnar was “taking liberties”, and it was enough to p*ss him off. Back in 2022, he sat down for a conversation on the True Geordie Podcast, where he talked about what happened backstage after Lesnar’s match with Orton.

Former WWE star from Saudi Arabia, Mansoor, made headlines after he signed a deal with All Elite Wrestling and its sister promotion, Ring of Honor, alongside the other half of MxM Collection. He is the first Saudi wrestler to have competed in WWE, and surprisingly, the man responsible for the company’s deal with his home country.
We will get into how Vince McMahon put the pressure of WWE’s deal with Saudi Arabia on Mansoor’s shoulders during the ‘Crown Jewel (2019)’, but first, let’s take a look at his entry into All Elite.

Is Daniel Bryan banned from doing his iconic ‘Yes’ chants? According to exclusive reports from Fightful Select (Wrestling Inc.), the former WWE Superstar shed light on how he was prohibited by the largest wrestling promotion brand upon his exit in 2021. This meant that using the ‘yes chants’ as his gimmick in a company other than WWE would violate the intellectual property rights.
Per a 2024 report from SEScoops, Bryan tried to challenge WWE by filing a trademark for his catchphrase. However, things did not go according to his plans. Speaking with Luke James Chats, he explained that soon after applying for the trademark, he received a legal letter from WWE for infringement. He said,
Well, so, it’s weird. I applied for it, but then I got – it wasn’t necessarily a cease-and-desist. I got some sort of legal letter from WWE (he laughed). Listen, listen, it’s really weird because...

After Brock Lesnar lost against Cody Rhodes in 2023, he took a hiatus from WWE before returning to SummerSlam recently. During this hiatus, his name was dragged into Janel Grant’s lawsuit against Vince McMahon. According to reports, despite the hiatus and lawsuit, Lesnar remained one of the highest-paid wrestlers with the company.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported that WWE continued to pay Lesnar his contract money in these last two years. Meltzer also claimed that WWE never suspended him despite his name being connected to Grant’s lawsuit. He wrote (via @WrestleTalk_TV/X):
Lesnar was still, even though not used, fully paid during that time period and was among the highest paid wrestlers in the company. He was never suspended, and obviously kept under contract.

Is WrestleMania going to Saudi Arabia? According to exclusive reports from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (via The Takedown), a potential move might be taken by WWE where the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will be getting its own WrestleMania from 2027. Thus, staging the same PPV twice a year, once in the United States and the other in Saudi Arabia. The report said,
It’s been well known that Saudi Arabia has been pushing for a WrestleMania for years now, and history shows that they are willing to pay a giant fee to get it.

At the peak of the trend a few years ago, every celebrity seemed to have their own brand of tequila. Today, there’s a new investment craze: a soccer club and a complementary TV series.
Eva Longoria has both. “Necaxa,” which debuts Thursday on FX, follows the namesake Mexican club, in which Longoria has a stake, as it strives to inch up Mexico’s top league and make the coveted playoffs.
It charts Longoria’s post-investment role as she becomes “La Patrona” (The Boss), as the players on the team call her. Yet soccer is a notoriously hard business, and one now saturated with celebrities who are using their investment to spawn accompanying entertainment. But Longoria said “Necaxa” (pronounced “Necaha”) has a standout story, and a potentially large audience in the U.S. Latino market.

Both John Cena and the audience were left with their mouths hanging wide open on the second night of ‘SummerSlam’ a few days ago as Brock Lesnar made his re-entry into WWE. Lots of people have said lots of things about the surprising return, but now, we finally know what John Cena thinks about it.
While talking to ‘Adam’s Apple‘ out on the street for a short interview, Cena was asked, “When you saw him [Lesnar] there, what was going through your mind?”
Cena simply replied,
I’ve been saying this for 25 years. They deal my play. I’m just really excited. We got like 12 of these things left. I think ‘SummerSlam’ was an indication from the audience where everybody kind of knows we’re closing our book. And just because I close my book in December, that doesn’t mean the WWE closes its books. They have to continue their programming going forward.

Brock Lesnar had a special synergy with Vince McMahon. This is evident from the remarks he made about him at the Pat McAfee Show, where he stated that the former head of WWE is ‘more as a father figure.’ The Beast Incarnate, who shocked WWE fans with his return, always had great dynamics with the WWE hierarchy.
These sensational remarks from him gave wrestling enthusiasts the sense that Vince McMahon is heard covertly in the WWE. No matter how hard Triple H and his associates try, the stature of some WWE superstars is beyond them.

He was caught up in the allegations that shook WWE and outed its former CEO, Vince McMahon. However, it appears that he was cleared by WWE, and his return surely elevated the event.
Fans should probably cherish the Beast’s return, as reports suggest that it could be his final few days with the company. It was reported that he could retire from WWE next year at SummerSlam, months after John Cena says goodbye to the company. @WrestleCourt shared that the event will be held in his hometown of Minneapolis, Minnesota.

‘SummerSlam’ Night 2 left fans in utter shock when Brock Lesnar returned to the ring after two years of being M.I.A. However, he was not alone. Along with him, he brought conversations about Janel Grant’s s*xual harassment lawsuit against Vince McMahon, in which he was later name-dropped.
Fans raised questions about Lesnar’s sudden return and what it meant for his legal troubles. Many guessed that the Beast Incarnate was cleared of any wrongdoing, and it looks like that is the truth.
Wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer opened up about Lesnar’s return on ‘Wrestling Observer Radio‘, where he stated that WWE Legal cleared him weeks before ‘SummerSlam’. In his words,
The short version is that four weeks ago WWE Legal cleared him. As far as ‘Why?’ I don’t know. That’s something to speculate on. There’s a lot of stuff…Everything relates to the Janel Grant lawsuit.

SummerSlam 2025 ended in a shocker, with Brock Lesnar making his unanticipated return to the company after 2 long years. The MetLife Stadium was on its feet, erupting into“holy s**t” chants. However, Lesnar’s comeback wasn’t him getting unbanned but was part of a special request made by John Cena, who happens to be “writing the last chapter of his book.”
During the SummerSlam post-show (via YouTube), the Cco shared that the 17-time WWE Champion is the writer of his final chapter, and he would retire the way he wants to. He emphasized the fact that Cena intends to have a “wishlist” of opponents and wants to face them before he retires at the end of the year. He said,

John Cena lost his prized possession, the WWE Championship title, to Cody Rhodes during Sunday night’s SummerSlam event. But he still has a huge support system in the form of his wife. Shay Shariatzadeh was ringside when the Cenation Leader gracefully accepted his defeat and raised Rhodes’ hand up in the air to denote his victory.
His wife teared up at her husband’s gesture. We can make a good guess that those are not tears of sadness that her husband lost the championship title. They are more like tears of happiness at what Cena has achieved this year, up until SummerSlam.

His wife teared up at her husband’s gesture. We can make a good guess that those are not tears of sadness that her husband lost the championship title. They are more like tears of happiness at what Cena has achieved this year, up until SummerSlam.

Out of all the things that happened at SummerSlam, the return of Brock Lesnar was the biggest surprise that WWE could have given to his fans. Despite The Beast’s return, which was already hinted at by Triple H, it turns out he was not the only mastermind who made the PPV so memorable, as John Cena did his fair share of creative work behind the scenes.
However, he was not only working his brains but also took quite a beating during his main event, where he lost his Undisputed WWE Championship. During the SummerSlam post-show (via YouTube), Paul Levesque told how John Cena is “writing the last chapter of his book” and is completing his “wishlist” to retire the way he intends to. He said,

Vince McMahon‘s legal troubles continued when WWE’s former employee, Janel Grant, filed a lawsuit against him and former Head of Talent Relations, John Laurinaitis, claiming that McMahon had s*xually assaulted and trafficked her. Recently, wrestler Brock Lesnar was also name-dropped in the complaint.
The original complaint made by Grant claimed that McMahon had offered her as a “s*xual pawn to entice world-famous wrestling talent” in 2021 (via Courthouse News), but the name was kept under wraps. However, an amended complaint filed earlier this year identified the mystery wrestler as Brock Lesnar (via ESPN).
Lesnar has not been listed as a defendant in the lawsuit, and McMahon’s attorney Jessica Rosenberg released a statement calling the amended complaint “nothing more than the latest publicity stunt in an ongoing smear campaign.”
She added, “It is filled with desperate falsehoods from a team that continues to disregard the law and the truth.

The Beast Incarnate is finally back, and what a return it was! Brock Lesnar has been absent inside the WWE ring since 2023, following the Janel Grant lawsuit against Vince McMahon, where alleged comments were made about him. This legal suit broke the hearts of the fans, as they believed that the future of the former UFC Champion is uncertain and that he would never again send unfortunate souls to Suplex City.
In last year’s press conference following WrestleMania Xl, Paul “Triple H” Levesque dropped hints out in the open about how he is still part of the company. The comments did not make much sense at that time and felt more like damage control, giving a ray of hope to the fans anticipating his return.

Triple H recently visited the White House to attend an event with Donald Trump, where the President signed an executive order that expands the Presidential Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition. Levesque’s presence has also given birth to rumors of how President Trump might host a WWE event at the White House sometime in the near future.

Does anybody watch UFC? The great Dana White? We’re going to have a UFC fight. We’re going to have a UFC fight – think of this – on the grounds of the White House. We have a lot of land there.

For years, Hulk Hogan has been painted as the wrestling icon who has carried WWE to mainstream popularity and made it relevant. However, behind his bright red and yellow attire, he was a man, committing sins and stirring the pot with controversies. With the icon having passed away at the age of 71, his legacy has been built on a fair share of hate and questionable actions.
Once the idol of kids, teaching them to “train, say your prayers, and eat your vitamins,” Hogan transitioned to be an eyesore to fellow locker room talents, having nothing good to say about him. Despite committing countless scandals, we at FandomWire are bringing forward the 10 fiascos that tarnished his public image.

Triple H recently dropped a masterclass by making Bronson Reed bully Roman Reigns by first beating him up and then taking his sneakers off. This might turn their SummerSlam clash into something special, as Roman Reigns will step onto the squared circle with more vigour because of the insult. So it can be said that the latest twist on Raw took things up a notch. The brawl started when Jey went up against Reed, and just when it looked like a normal matchup, chaos broke loose.
Bron Breakker and Roman Reigns appeared out of nowhere in the match, and what followed was pure chaos. Reed and Breakker somehow managed to come out on top, but then Reed sort of crossed the line. He floored Reigns, took off his shoe, and held it up like some kind of trophy. This might turn out to be a great move as it will...

“We’re going to lift the curtain. We are going to show you things you’ve never seen in this show,” WWE Hall of Famer and Chief Content Officer Triple H said in announcing its docuseries collaboration with Netflix. The question is, do we really need to see this?
“WWE: Unreal” gives the audience unprecedented access, going backstage with WWE Superstars and staff as they bring the company’s biggest spectacles to life from the Royal Rumble to WrestleMania.
When I was younger, I believed that The Undertaker was a dead man walking, Umaga was a tribal chief and Vince McMahon was an egomaniacal billionaire… Maybe that last one was true. There was a real magic in keeping kayfabe alive as audiences get lost in the compelling storylines that make the matches and rivalries more believable.

Michael Wolff’s Donald Trump biography, Fire and Fury, has made some damning allegations against First Lady, Melania Trump. The book claimed that she was “very involved” in Trump’s friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. The author shared that she was introduced to Trump by a model agent, who was acquainted with both Trump and Epstein.
The author shared, “She’s introduced by a model agent, both of whom Trump and Epstein are involved with. She’s introduced to Trump that way. Epstein [knew] her well” (via RadarOnline). He also went on to make the claim that Trump and Melania had their first s*x on Epstein’s airplane. The author wrote:
Epstein said the first time Donald Trump and Melania had s*x was on his airplane, so this is another complicated dimension in this.
He also went on to reiterate these claims in an Instagram video on Monday. He claimed...
