1. Bray Wyatt's Hulkster Hint

One thing WWE definitely shouldn't do is bow to Hulk Hogan's wishes and book him in "one more" lengthy match at WrestleMania 36. That'd be a huge mistake, both for the company and for Hulk. He's not physically able to work a classic, and could actually embarrass himself if he tried to go 10 minutes or longer.

Taking a Mandible Claw from Bray Wyatt though? That's a different story.

Wyatt dropped a heavy hint on this week's SmackDown that Hogan might be next in line for his 'Fiend' after Goldberg. There are two options here: Hulk vs. 'Fiend' could happen at 'Mania (in more of a prolonged angle kind of way than a proper match) if Wyatt drops the Universal Title to Goldberg at Super ShowDown. Or, they could collide at the next Saudi Arabian special after WrestleMania.

It wouldn't be popular amongst Hogan haters, but would it really be so bad to see Bray squash another legend? That'd be the best use of Hulk in 2020, and it'd scratch that itch for anyone who does want to see him on WWE pay-per-view one more time.
