Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day, featuring Hulk Hogan and Dominik Mysterio.
• During an interview with SK Wrestling, Hulk Hogan was asked what he thinks of former Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley.
Here’s what the 2-time WWE Hall of Famer said:
“Rhea, I love her. She is like the bomb dot com. She’s got it figured out. She’s on fire. She’s a hellcat, man.
I think her and Charlotte (Flair) are neck and neck, and Ripley’s got a little extra gas in her tank whenever she needs it, so that’s really fun to watch.”

• At WWE SummerSlam 2005, Rey Mysterio defeated Eddie Guerrero in a “Custody of Dominik” Ladder Match.
During an interview on the Impaulsive podcast, Logan Paul asked Dominik Mysterio if he knew what was happening in the storyline.
Here’s what Dirty Dom said:
“There was part of me that… I knew the differences, but there are certain points where it was hard to find the difference. Especially when Eddie was in the ring. I was one of those fortunate people who can say I got to step in the ring with Eddie Guerrero. There was one point in the match where I slid in, I went to shake the ladder, and he turns around from up top and starts shaking his finger.
As he’s coming down, I don’t remember what was planned, but I remember he backing me up into the corner, veiny red, screaming his lungs out at me. ‘I’m going to teach you how to be a Guerrero.’ I don’t remember any of this as a kid as far as us going over what was going to happen.
I just remember being backed up into this corner by Eddie, him raising his hand. My deadbeat comes out of nowhere, turns him around, and they get into the match. I’m so frozen. You see the ref Charles Robinson, he pulls me from under the ring. ‘Let’s go.’ I’m frozen.
Did you hear what they originally wanted to do to me? They wanted to hang me from a cage. Not even from a cage. They wanted to actually hang me, like on a waist thing and have me dangle there. Yeah [like a Money In The Bank briefcase], but a kid. Me.”
