During the interview, the former WWE superstar stated once again that he wants to return to WWE to host WWE RAW and was actually supposed to host the show earlier this month: "I do plan on going back and hosting. I was actually gonna go back this month, but the day I was going to host, I had to go to Mexico for promotion of the movie, so we had to cancel that," Johnson said. Johnson says his return to WWE, rumored to take place this summer, will be more than just a typical one-night guest hosting gig: "I've remained close with Vince McMahon over the years, but here's the key. It's not just to go back and host. I don't want to do that. I want to go back and host and do something special. I want to entertain the fans in ways they haven't been entertained in years."
According to The Tampa Bay News, Linda Bollea (Hogan) has come to a settlement with the family of John Graziano and will no longer be named as a defendant in the civil suit against Hulk and Nick Hogan. The lawsuit is still open with Terry Bollea (Hulk Hogan) and Nick as defendants. The terms of the settlement were confidential. The suit arises from a 2008 car wreck involving Nick, which left Graziano in a vegetative state and in need of permanent medical care. George Tragos, attorney for the Graziano family, said: "Linda, she was obviously in a different position than everyone else. She was in California at the time of the accident and she did not sign for Nick Bollea's drivers license as Terry did, so she's in a different legal position." Linda did not comment on the story, though her attorney Raymond Rayfool said that Linda was "very pleased" and that they think "the Grazianos are happy." The article also states that Daniel Jacobs, who was allegedly racing Nick Hogan's car at the time of the crash, has settled with the Grazianos as well. The suit will continue with Nick and Hulk Hogan as defendants.
