Meanwhile, speculation continues around Hulk Hogan’s reported death and the uncertain status of Goldberg’s involvement with AEW, creating tension and unease among fans and insiders alike.
Details Emerge About Hulk Hogan’s Final Days
According to Wrestling Observer Radio hosts Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez, discussions about Hulk Hogan’s deteriorating health emerged days before reports of his death. Meltzer noted the condition was
“not as bad as [Bubba the Love Sponge] said, but it’s bad,”
before Hogan’s sudden passing. Sources close to TMZ revealed that Hogan’s relationship with his daughter Brooke had been strained in his last years. Their final conversation reportedly occurred mere weeks before Hogan’s marriage to Sky Daily in September 2023. Brooke expressed concerns about Hulk pushing himself too hard despite his failing health, but he apparently dismissed her pleas to slow down and enjoy life.
WWE’s Storylines Adjust Following Rollins Injury
Sources from Bodyslam.net reported a significant change in the creative plans for WWE after Seth Rollins suffered an injury during his match on Saturday Night’s Main Event. Originally, Rollins was slated to defeat LA Knight, with Knight expected to redeem himself in a rematch at SummerSlam. Following the injury, Rollins reportedly called an audible, leaving WWE’s booking team with uncertainty about how to proceed with LA Knight’s character and storyline at the upcoming event.

WrestleVotes Radio revealed that WWE holds strong ambitions for Stephanie Vaquer’s future. Various character development ideas are reportedly under consideration to elevate her status within the company. Her recent post-match interview segment with Stephanie McMahon on Evolution 2 appears to be a strategic move aimed at establishing Vaquer as a prominent star moving forward.
Goldberg’s Status with AEW Remains Inactive Amid Contract Issues
Insiders speaking with WrestleVotes Radio confirmed there is no current communication between Goldberg and AEW representatives. It is believed that Goldberg remains contractually bound to WWE, preventing any negotiations with AEW. Furthermore, sources expressed skepticism about AEW attempting to sign Goldberg once his WWE contract expires, underscoring a potential standstill in his career transition.
Ongoing Speculation Reflects Broader Industry Uncertainties
These recent developments highlight the fragile nature of wrestling storylines and the real-life challenges affecting the business. Seth Rollins’s injury not only disrupts planned matches but also raises questions about the direction of other wrestlers affected by these changes. Hogan’s death and the fractured family dynamics add a somber layer to the wrestling community’s mood, while Goldberg’s stalled AEW relationship exemplifies the complex contractual issues defining the wrestling landscape today.
