#1 Hulk Hogan on joining the Bullet Club

The Bullet Club are one of the most popular factions in all of pro wrestling. Hulk Hogan, who was recently reinstated into the WWE Hall of Fame recently revealed in an interview with Sports Illustrated about how Cody Rhodes of the Bullet Club spoke to him about possibly collaborating on something.

"I’ve been keeping an eye on the Bullet Club for the last couple years. Cody has talked to me about maybe doing something with Bullet Club, but those guys are on fire on their own," said Hogan to SI.com.

Hogan also praised Cody, Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks for what they're doing in indie wrestling and said that there is always a market for quality content like theirs: “They have my support, I’m a huge fan of their work and I’m rooting for them. WWE is the mainstay, they’re here forever, but whenever there is competition in the marketplace, especially with a group of guys like Cody Rhodes, the Young Bucks, and Kenny Omega, it just raises the bar with the level of shows and content.”

Hogan is back with his NWO buddies - Kevin Nash and Scott Hall, in a reunion of sorts, where the trio have Q&A sessions in the US and UK, and Hogan has revealed that Vince McMahon has given his blessing for these shows and that they have a good rapport.

#2 Zack Ryder talks about how he feels at not being on RAW

Zack Ryder was moved to RAW during this year's Superstar Shake-Up, but the WWE Superstar hasn't featured on the show lately.

On Lillian Garcia's Chasing Glory podcast, Ryder said that although he's disappointed that he's not on the show, he's grateful to being in the position that he's in: "At the end of the day, like right now with Monday Night Raw, I am not being used. Can I cry about it or can I be grateful and say that I am still here. I mean, you can go to a toy store and buy a Zack Ryder action figure today so my life can definitely be a lot worse."

Ryder also said that he was "bitter" at his YouTube show dipping after WWE took over the show and had to make it PG friendly. "That whole process where I basically had to hand over my YouTube show I saw my hard work literally go down the drain, and everything I did to earn my spot on television only to see it bump down lower and lower. I will admit, I was bitter," said Ryder.

#3 Bray Wyatt continues to tease a Wyatt Family reunion

Following The Shield ganging up against Braun Strowman and giving him a beatdown, there has been talk about the Wyatt Family reuniting on RAW as Bray Wyatt has no storyline following Matt Hardy's injury.

Now, Wyatt is teasing a reunion once again with this following tweet:

I’m going away now. To find myself. But when I am back, I want you all to remember things like this, that make me do the things I do. pic.twitter.com/6ohvkAHSuo

#4 WWE Hall of Famer was behind Sting's face paint

Sting recently revealed on The Apter Chat that WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes was responsible for his coloured face paint character.

Sting said that Rhodes came up with the idea of adding colour to Sting's face paing before a TV taping.

"They put Ric (Flair) with Ricky Morton, and Ricky gets hurt. So Dusty says, 'Stinger baby, I want to put some color on your face, color on your tights and color on your boots. And I want to put you with Ric.' So we did a little story line with JJ Dillion and the Four Horseman and Ric Flair in Raleigh, North Carolina for a TV taping," said Sting (H/T WrestlingInc for the transcription)

#5 Big Cass reveals the wrestlers he still talks to in the WWE

Big Cass, who was fired from the WWE earlier this year, has said that he still speaks to a few of his former WWE colleagues, including Kevin Owens and Daniel Bryan, in his podcast with Booker T.

Cass said that the two have told him about the indies and how it is much better than how it was when they were in the indies: "I talks to my buddies from WWE still, like Kevin Owens, or Daniel Bryan who has helped me in more ways than one. They just say the work outside WWE is incredible compared to what it was when they were just working independents." (H/T WrestlingInc for the transcription)

Cass had earlier expressed regret on his release and said that he would've released himself if he were in Vince McMahon's position.
