NEWS: There has been a fury of speculation regarding Hulk Hogan's impending WWE return and on the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Live host Bryan Alvarez added more,

"I don't think that it's impossible that the GM ends up being Hulk Hogan. I mean, he ain't going to be wrestling, I can tell you that much."

Hogan will be making an official WWE appearance at the HBO Andre the Giant premiere. This will be Hogan's very first appearance since being unceremoniously future endeavored in 2015 after making racist remarks while being unknowingly filmed for a sex tape. The WWE recently released a statement saying that Hogan wasn't currently under contract; but, added to speculation when they did not deny recent rumors of the company working towards a deal that would bring Hulkamania back into the fold. Hogan's return as SmackDown GM couldn't come at a more opportune time as current SmackDown GM, Daniel Bryan, is set to return to in-ring action at WrestleMania and Shane McMahon is out indefinitely with diverticulitis.
