Inside: Condolences to Mark Henry

TOP STORIES TODAY

Roman Reigns’ next two WWE appearances have been confirmed following his shocking return on this week’s RAW. The Original Tribal Chief made his presence felt after CM Punk won the Gauntlet match to earn a shot at Gunther's World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam 2025. Reigns attacked Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, signaling his return to action and reigniting rivalries on the red brand.

WWE has now officially advertised Roman Reigns for the July 21 episode of RAW in Houston and the July 28 episode in Detroit. His return has already stirred the pot, with Paul Heyman taking to social media to hint that Reigns may have “screwed up” by interfering. As tensions rise heading into SummerSlam, fans can expect The Head of the Table to be at the center of WWE’s biggest storylines.

Jacob Henry, the son of WWE legend Mark Henry and a rising star in WWE’s NIL program, recently shared a deeply emotional update on X/Twitter. He announced the passing of his grandmother, who is also Mark Henry’s mother-in-law, and paid tribute to her in a heartfelt message. In his post, Jacob expressed profound love and gratitude for the role she played in his life.

As a future WWE prospect, Jacob Henry is already in the spotlight due to his lineage and potential. While he continues to train and prepare for an in-ring debut, he has received an outpouring of support from fans and the wrestling community following this personal loss.

Pat McAfee recently addressed his WWE hiatus, revealing the real reason behind his absence from RAW. Speaking on The Pat McAfee Show, the former NFL star shared that he was feeling mentally exhausted and needed a break. Once he stepped away from his role on RAW, McAfee said he began to feel like himself again.

While emphasizing his continued love for WWE, McAfee admitted that the demanding schedule, especially with the upcoming NFL season, made it difficult for him to keep up. He made it clear that stepping back was necessary for his well-being, even though his passion for wrestling remains strong.

FROM THE RUMOR MILL

Hulk Hogan's recent health scare has been compounded by another disappointing update — his long-rumored biopic has officially been canceled. While earlier reports claiming Hogan was on his deathbed were debunked by both his representatives and wife, it was confirmed that he had undergone back surgery and was receiving treatment in the hospital, though not in any critical condition.

Now, Fightful Select has reported that the planned movie about Hogan’s life, which was set to star Chris Hemsworth, has been scrapped. The biopic had faced multiple delays over the years, and producers reportedly struggled to separate fact from fiction regarding Hogan’s controversial past. Coupled with a lack of industry appetite, the project has now been shelved indefinitely.

Brock Lesnar has been absent from WWE since SummerSlam 2023, but his presence still looms large over the promotion. As SummerSlam 2025 approaches, a compelling new theory has fans buzzing about his potential return. During this week's episode of RAW, Paul Heyman referred to Bron Breakker as the "Next Big Thing", a moniker famously associated with Lesnar during his early days in WWE.

This reference has sparked speculation that Lesnar could return as a babyface and target Breakker, setting up a high-stakes generational clash. After nearly two years away, the Beast Incarnate might be poised to reassert his dominance by taking down the man seemingly stepping into his legacy.
