After searching wrestlers for weeks, Team Ric Flair and Team Hulk Hogan are finally complete as both the teams consist of some heavy-hitting superstars. Last week on SmackDown, Hogan chose Roman Reigns as his new captain and now his team also consists of Rusev, Ricochet, Shorty G and Ali. Meanwhile, Flair has chosen his former Evolution teammate Randy Orton as his captain and added Bobby Lashley, King Corbin and Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura. His last player was hard to found, but Flair earlier on RAW announced Drew McIntyre as his last team member. Now that both the teams are filled with wrestlers, Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair are set to make an appearance on SmackDown.
WWE Crown Jewel: Team Hulk Hogan vs Team Ric Flair announcement
The announcement for this match was made when Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair appeared in the season premiere of RAW to chat with Miz at his segment, Miz TV. There the two superstars talked about their career and their rivalries. One led to another and a match between the two was set. The then duo decided that they will pick five superstars each, and both the teams will face each other at the upcoming Crown Jewel PPV.
The Hulkster originally picked WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins to be his team captain, but after Rollins was placed in a Universal Title match against The Fiend, it was determined that Rollins could no longer be a part of Hogan’s squad. As a result, Hogan later picked Roman Reigns to be his new captain. Ric Flair, on the other hand, took almost three weeks to announce his last player, but today he completed his team by naming Drew McIntyre in his squad. The two teams are scheduled to face each other in the upcoming Crown Jewel PPV on October 31, 2019.
