WWE Monday Night RAW airs tonight, and this will be a monumental episode of the red brand. Tonight’s program marks the debut episode of RAW on Netflix. The transition, in theory, exposes the product to millions of new eyeballs.
As a result of this, the show is looking absolutely stacked. John Cena, The Rock, and Logan Paul are advertised to appear, plus major matches have been booked. Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Rhea Ripley, and others will compete in matches with years of build. Another big name reportedly set for the show is Hulk Hogan.
Many thought The Hulkster had been banned from the company after being left out of the promotional material for Saturday Night’s Main Event, but he will seemingly be on RAW.
This article will take a look at four stars who may interrupt The Hulkster if he has an in-ring or on-stage promo during the episode. This includes two current champions, one of the most hated wrestlers in the world, and beyond.
Below are four WWE stars who can confront Hulk Hogan on RAW’s debut on Netflix:
#4. Gunther could go face-to-face with Hulk Hogan
Gunther is the reigning World Heavyweight Champion and one of the most dominant stars in WWE. Before winning this belt, he held both the Intercontinental Championship and the NXT United Kingdom Title, having record-long reigns with both belts.
There is a chance that the reigning King of the Ring interrupts a potential Hulk Hogan promo on WWE RAW. He could tear down the “All-American” legend and even threaten to chop the master of the Atomic Leg Drop.
Gunther has a history of irritating or downright trolling legends. Veterans such as Bret “The Hitman” Hart and Bill Goldberg have been verbally torn apart by The Ring General in the past. Perhaps Hulk Hogan is next.
#3. Ludwig Kaiser could make a name for himself in WWE
From one Imperium star to another, Ludwig Kaiser is one of WWE’s most underrated talents. The former NXT Tag Team Champion is an incredible in-ring talent with a boatload of charisma. He can also cut a fantastic promo.
In recent times, Gunther has inspired the German star to stop focusing solely on The Ring General and make an impact of his own. Ludwig has since been chasing the WWE Intercontinental Championship, but tonight’s RAW may see Kaiser take a detour.
The European Ellegance could interrupt The Hulkster and tear apart the latter for not being European Excellence. Kaiser would get a great rub from it, but he could also be chased off by Bron Breakker or even Sheamus.
#2. Bron Breakker could intimidate the legend
Speaking of Bron Breakker, The Dog of WWE is one of the brightest stars in pro wrestling. Since joining WWE, he has won both the NXT Championship and Intercontinental Championship on two separate occasions. He is also a former NXT Tag Team Champion.
As the reigning Intercontinental Champion, Bron should, in theory, have a role on tonight’s WWE RAW. Perhaps his big role could involve interrupting and intimidating Hulk Hogan.
Given his uncle Scott Steiner’s hatred for The Hulkster, there is real-life beef the two may play with. Beyond that, Bron staring down and intimidating a legend would only add to his impressive aura. Of course, as a tweener, Bron could also be friendly with Hogan, but that would make for considerably less entertaining television.
#1. Dominik Mysterio could get a lot of heat
Dominik Mysterio is the last entry on this list, but arguably the best choice among stars who can have a segment with the legendary Hulk Hogan. Nobody in the company gets the reaction from fans that Dirty Dom gets.
The audience despises the former NXT North American Champion. As a result, the 27-year-old having the gall to interrupt the legend would get a lot of heat from the crowd.
While someone like Bron Breakker or Ludwig Kaiser would look weak if a 71-year-old man attacked them, Dominik has been booked as someone who can take bumps without having his credibility tarnished. This means he can bump off a punch from the legend without it damaging him in any way, thus actually making him the perfect character to interact with The Hulkster.
