WWE News: Two Superstars Qualify For World Cup On Tonight’s RAW
Despite all of the talk surrounding the upcoming WWE Crown Jewel event, all things are still a go for the event on Friday, November 2nd from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia which will feature the inaugural WWE World Cup tournament.
Last week, we saw John Cena and Kurt Angle added to the field on Monday Night RAW, while Jeff Hardy and Randy Orton both won qualifying matches the following night on SmackDown Live. With four spots taken up, that means only four spots were remaining and tonight’s episode of RAW was set for two more qualifying matches.
In the opening contest, Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins faced off with one-half of the RAW Tag Team Champions, Drew McIntyre. ‘The Scottish Psychopath’ has been on an absolute roll for months, presenting a tall task both literally and figuratively for ‘The Kingslayer’. Of course, Dolph Ziggler would insert himself into the match, leading to the arrival of Dean Ambrose to even the odds and aid Rollins in picking up a Count-Out victory.

With Rollins solidifying his spot, Dean Ambrose took aim at reserving his ticket to the World Cup as he took on the other half of the RAW Tag Champs, Dolph Ziggler. Much like Ziggler did for him earlier in the night, Drew McIntyre decided to try and aid ‘The Show Off’, leading to Seth Rollins looking to thwart his effort. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out in Dean’s favor and after Ambrose pushed ‘The Kingslayer’ off of him, he would slide back into the ring and walk into a Superkick to send Ziggler onto the World Cup.

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 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.
