Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day, featuring The Undertaker and Hulk Hogan.
• Becky Lynch’s anticipated return during WWE’s Netflix premiere of Monday Night RAW didn’t materialize, leaving fans speculating about her absence. Reports from Bodyslam now shed light on why the Man’s comeback was postponed.
Lynch was present in Los Angeles for the event and initially slated to reappear during the Women’s World Championship match between Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan. However, plans shifted to spotlight The Undertaker in a symbolic moment with Ripley.
After Ripley defeated Morgan to win the title, The Undertaker made his legendary entrance and joined Ripley on stage. WWE viewed this as a significant “passing-of-the-torch” moment, more fitting for the debut episode. Consequently, Lynch’s return was put on hold to prioritize this iconic segment.
Though her comeback didn’t happen as expected, Lynch remains poised to rejoin WWE programming soon. With WrestleMania season approaching, fans can anticipate her involvement in a major storyline.
After her WWE contract expired in June 2024 and a subsequent hiatus, Lynch is set to make a significant impact upon her return.

• Ric Flair recently said that he has one more match left in him. Reacting to this news, RAW Superstar “Big” Bronson Reed tweeted:
“People keep saying they want me to TSUNAMI him … yall really wanna watch someone die?”
Reed later targeted another 2-time WWE Hall of Famer: Hulk Hogan. After news broke that WWE is planning to bring the Hulkster back to TV, Reed tweeted:
“It seems like Flair wasn’t the only one you guys wanted me to TSUNAMI!!!”
After Hogan returned on last night’s RAW Netflix premiere and was booed by the fans, Reed tweeted:
“Sorry guys.”
It looks like Reed wanted to be on RAW to hit Hogan with a Tsunami. Reed later added:
“Due to injury, you guys missed out on me making Seth and Punk both call me daddy. Then rip a fat bong and give Hulk Hogan 12 TSUNAMIS!!!”
