Hogan Returning to WWE Raw
WWE has added Hulk Hogan to the December 22nd edition of Monday Night Raw, live from the Target Center in Minneapolis, MN. Roman Reigns is also being advertised for the show, and is expected to make his full-time return next week, following WWE TLC.
It’s unknown what Hogan’s role will be in the broadcast, but in the past the company has brought him in to promote the WWE Network and their partnership with Susan G. Komen. Traditionally, ratings are down for any shows falling near Christmas, so they may just be bringing him in to help counteract that drop in viewership. WWE will also be making a hard push for the Royal Rumble pay-per-view in January.
TNA Wrestling on Netflix?
Variety.com has a new article up highlighting Discovery’s desire to partner with Netflix, to stream more of their content on the website. They currently have a deal in place with Hulu for exclusive on-demands rights to “Deadliest Catch”.
Discovery is the new home of Impact Wrestling, which will debut on Destination America in January 2015. While a potential deal between Discover and Netflix is still being worked out – Variety says its a matter of determining value – it could lead to TNA content coming to the over-the-top network in the future.
