WWE News: Mick Foley Reveals How His Hell In A Cell Role Came About
The scheduled Hell In A Cell match between Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman for the Universal Championship this Sunday had a new wrinkle added this week, as WWE Hall Of Famer Mick Foley returned to RAW and announced he would be the special referee.
‘The Hardcore Legend’ was the original RAW General Manager before being fired by Stephanie McMahon in the early part of 2017, but had not been seen again until this past Monday. While appearing on Sirius XM’s Busted Open Radio this week, revealing how his role came about and who had the idea:
“I think that having Superstars return is a good thing in doses and in this case, this was well in the works before WWE came to see my special. It was in the works actually before…I was gonna say before the tour was announced, but that’s not quite true. But, I had the chance to participate in the 25th Anniversary of RAW and I texted Mr. McMahon and I said, ‘I appreciate it, but I just feel like I have something to offer if you’re willing to wait until September. I feel like I could do something more impactful for the 20th anniversary of Hell In A Cell’. So this is a case where I have a definite role, it’s not just a matter of throwing guys out there…which we do. We as in, meaning WWE has done in the past. I think the use of Shawn and Taker…Triple H…of course they have the huge match coming up in Australia. So there’s a legit reason for them to be out there.”

TNA Impact on AMC Drops to 175,000 Viewers, 0.03 18-49 Rating Amid Heavy Sports Competition
TNA Thursday Night Impact averaged 175,000 viewers on AMC last week, a 17.5% decline from the previous week’s 212,000 and the lowest audience since January 22. The show posted a 0.03 rating in the key 18-49 demo, down 25% and matching its lowest demo figure on AMC since the move.
The drop coincided with stiff competition — Impact ran opposite the NFL Draft (simulcast on ESPN, ABC and the NFL Network) as well as NHL and NBA playoff coverage, leaving the program tied for 70th on the primetime cable charts. Versus the prior 10-week average (0.04 rating and 240,300 viewers), last week’s show fell 25% in the demo and 27.2% in overall viewers.

Nick Hogan Open to Pursuing In-Ring Career After Viewing Hulk Hogan: Real American
Nick Hogan told the Bonus Edition of the 83 Weeks podcast that after watching the final version of Hulk Hogan: Real American he’s more open than ever to stepping into the ring if the opportunity presents itself. Hogan said he’s been knocking off ring rust, is in good shape and “would absolutely welcome” the chance to pursue an in‑ring career, and noted the docuseries — which premiered on Netflix on April 22, 2026 — helped clarify his father’s legacy.
He also praised the series for pulling back the curtain on the many facets of Hulk Hogan, from character work to charitable efforts, saying it showed how dynamic a person his father is. Nick added that the long-discussed Chris Hemsworth biopic from 2019 remains a possibility despite delays, as the documentary continues to renew interest in Hogan’s story.
