A top WWE star has no desire to see Hulk Hogan enter the 2024 Royal Rumble match.
January 22nd saw the Hall of Famer appear on Raw via video package. Marking 40 years of Hulkamania, Hogan looked back on his memorable title win inside Madison Square Garden, defeating The Iron Sheik to become World Champion for the first time in his career. Later in the video, Hogan discussed the upcoming Royal Rumble and referenced the wildcard entries, stating “You never know who will show up” while pointing to himself.
Although Hogan’s first WWE match since 2006 would be an interesting experience for fans, one former World Champion has no intention of siding with the Hall of Famer on January 27th if he makes a very unexpected return.
Speaking with Sportskeeda, Bobby Lashley was asked about his thoughts on Hogan’s comments, to which The All Mighty responded that he wouldn’t be making friends with the Hall of Famer:
“Hulk Hogan? Oh, if he comes in I’ll throw him out. What, do you want me to give him a high five? I’ll throw him out. That’s what it’s about.”
Later in the interview, Lashley was asked about The Rock, who also had made his presence felt at WWE in January. Lashley once again stated that he would gladly throw out The People’s Champion, adding that there are a number of opportunities to be gained from throwing The Rock out of the Rumble:
“Anybody who wants step to that next level, take him out. If he comes in and I have the opportunity to throw him out, I will throw him out. Anything that he has, you have the ability to take from him if you take him out. It’s not going to be a cakewalk for him.”
Hulk Hogan Helps Motorist In Distress
The former World Champion hit the headlines for a surprising reason at the start of the year. As reported by TMZ, Hulk Hogan helped to free a passenger from an overturned car. The report states that Hogan, his wife and a friend saw the car flip over in front of them as they were driving in Florida.
