• WWE Is Using Brock Lesnar To Hurt AEW
WWE is preparing to shake up the wrestling calendar this fall, as the company is set to run a premium live event head-to-head with one of AEW’s biggest shows of the year. According to multiple sources who spoke with POST Wrestling, WWE has locked in a PLE for Saturday, September 20, in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The timing is notable, as it lands on the same date as AEW’s All Out 2025 pay-per-view, which will emanate from the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. While start times for WWE’s event have yet to be confirmed, All Out is slated to kick off at 8 PM Eastern.
If the schedule holds, it will mark the first time in history that a WWE main roster PLE has gone head-to-head with an AEW pay-per-view. However, WWE has shown a willingness to overlap with AEW before – NXT PLEs have previously shared dates with Double or Nothing, All In Texas, and Forbidden Door earlier this year.
In an update from the Wrestling Observer, Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena will take place at this September 20th PLE:
“The planned main event for WWE’s September 20 PPV, going head-to-head against All Out, is Brock Lesnar vs John Cena. Which is why Brock’s not booked for Paris. Because they wanted him as a method to counterprogram AEW.”
There have been rumors that this September 20th PLE could be Bad Blood.
• “She’s pushing the marriage thing real hard” – Hulk Hogan on Sky Daily
Brooke Hogan has opened up about the final conversation she had with her father, the late 2-time WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan, revealing that it happened under unusual and emotional circumstances just before his 2023 wedding to Sky Daily.
Speaking on The Bubba the Love Sponge Show, Brooke recalled receiving an unexpected phone call from her father. According to her, the tone was unsettling from the start – almost like a step in a recovery process – with Hogan offering a vague apology without explaining exactly what for.
“He said, ‘I just wanted to call and say I’m sorry for whatever I did,’” Brooke recounted, adding that she asked him if he was referring to comments from the leaked $ex tape or something else entirely. “There’s a lot of things that we could go through that you’ve done,” she told him at the time.
Brooke says the conversation quickly set off alarm bells. After hanging up, she told her partner, Steve, that she believed her father was about to marry Sky Daily – despite having recently claimed he had no intention of walking down the aisle again. According to her, Hogan admitted Daily was “pushing the marriage thing real hard,” and she reminded him he didn’t need to go through with it.
She claims this wasn’t the first sign her father had doubts about the relationship. At one point, Brooke says Hogan had even looked into ways of ending things with Daily. Concerned, Brooke hired a former FBI agent to check into Daily’s background and ultimately advised her father, “Just don’t get married… You don’t have to.”
In the same interview, Brooke also touched on a personal regret – not having any memorabilia from her father’s storied career to pass on to future generations. “Can I have something for my children? Anything?” she recalled asking him.
She stressed she would never sell any of it, saying if his possessions were ever displayed, they would belong in the WWE Hall of Fame or behind glass at the Hard Rock Hotel.
