10 Unused WWE ideas you might not know about - Fourth New Day member, Dean Ambrose in 3MB

#6 Hulk Hogan’s WWE heel turn

Hulk Hogan worked as a babyface during his first WWE run

Hulk Hogan said on The Steve Austin Show in 2019 that he suggested to Vince McMahon before his WWE WrestleMania VI match against The Ultimate Warrior that he should turn heel and refer to himself as Triple H (Hollywood Hulk Hogan).

McMahon agreed that WWE had “gotten everything we can” out of Hogan’s gimmick, but he did not want his top Superstar to turn his back on the fans.

According to Hogan, McMahon rejected the Hollywood Hulk Hogan idea – something he later used in WCW – because he thought it would never work.

#5 WWE wanted Titus O’Neil in The New Day

Big E revealed on a 2020 episode of The New Day’s Feel The Power podcast that WWE officials wanted Titus O’Neil to become the fourth member of the faction.

The former WWE Intercontinental Champion did not elaborate too much on the plan to add O’Neil to the group, except when he added that someone in WWE “tried to force him on us”.

He clarified that all three New Day members like O’Neil but they did not want him as part of their team.
