• WWE Blocked 2 Wrestlers From Appearing In “Queen of the Ring” Movie
Before securing her role in the upcoming 2026 film Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo, Liv Morgan was chosen for another movie role. Fightful Select reports that the former Women’s World Champion was slated to be part of the cast for the wrestling biopic Queen of the Ring, which chronicles the life of wrestling pioneer Mildred Burke and has since been released.
The situation surrounding Queen of the Ring was not unique to Morgan. Earlier reports indicated that fellow WWE star Charlotte Flair was also offered a role in the film but was later pulled from the production by WWE, leading to her replacement by AEW star Kamille.
It is now known that Liv Morgan was similarly approached for a part in the project but was also prevented from participating by WWE. While the exact reasoning behind WWE’s decision to block both stars from joining the cast remains unclear, the outcome resulted in both women missing out on the opportunity.
Liv Morgan returned from injury at Survivor Series 2025 and was added to the women’s WrestleMania 42 ad as well.
• Why Hulk Hogan Died Soon After Being Discharged From The Hospital
The controversy surrounding the death of Hulk Hogan continues, as the 2-time WWE Hall of Famer’s former friend, radio host Bubba the Love Sponge (who was the only one that correctly reported that Hogan was on his deathbed earlier this year), is doubling down on claims that Hogan resorted to using illicit substances, contradicting the account given by Hogan’s widow, Sky Daily.
According to Bubba, Hogan’s severe pain could only be managed effectively while he was hospitalized, where medical staff could administer pain relief, such as morphine, under professional supervision. Bubba asserted that this institutional care kept Hogan alive and comfortable.
However, once Hogan was discharged, he was unable to obtain the necessary prescriptions, citing strict triple-net controls by the DEA on opioids, which require written prescriptions subject to government tracking.
With his legal options exhausted, Bubba claims Hogan was forced to procure pain medication “off the grid.” He suggested that getting medication from unverified sources is dangerous because those products are often cut or mixed with deadly additives like fentanyl to make them go further, turning a search for relief into a lethal gamble.
This account aligns with the initial claim made by Ric Flair, who first suggested that “street drugs” killed Hogan after doctors stopped providing the proper medication.
Although Flair subsequently walked back his remark, stating he was repeating inaccurate information relayed by a family member, Bubba the Love Sponge is maintaining the core of the story.
Hogan’s widow, Sky Daily, had vehemently denied the street drug claims, asserting that Hogan was under continuous supervision in a Florida hospital and that the only change in his medication regimen was to protect his lungs following a neck procedure.
