WWE officially announced that the WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal will be debuting at this year’s WrestleMania event in New Orleans, Louisiana a few weeks ago. The match will now become an annual part of WrestleMania each year. It looks like WWE is going to have a very special guest ring announcer appearing for the upcoming match. WWE has just confirmed that longtime ring announcer Lilian Garcia will be appearing at WrestleMania this year to announced the participants of the women’s battle royal as they each make their way down to the ring. The match will be taking place for the first time ever at WrestleMania 34 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on April 8th.
The @WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal will welcome back the great @LilianGarcia when she serves as its guest ring announcer! https://t.co/9V5gdRh8s8

It was reported recently that WWE Champion AJ Styles has been dealing with somewhat of an injury over the past few days. Some have even feared that the injury could put his planned WrestleMania match against Shinsuke Nakamura in jeopardy, but Styles himself has promised that he will make it to the event this year. PWInsider has provided the latest update on Styles’ injury. It appears now that he will be returning to the WWE live events planned for this week. Styles is set to team up with the New Day to take on Chad Gable, Shelton Benjamin, Rusev, and Aiden English. This could be a way of still having Styles compete on the show without him having to do much in the ring before WrestleMania.
Hulk Hogan has been rumored to return to WWE over and over again ever since he was let go from the company back in 2015 after some controversial statements that he made went public. However, WWE did recently confirm that they spoke with Hogan very recently and he is also scheduled to attend the company and HBO’s premiere of the upcoming Andre the Giant documentary. Not long after PWInsider broke the story, WWE let the public know that Hogan is not under any official deal as of yet. The WrestleVotes Twitter account has now also claimed that WWE and Hogan have been having talks about returning recently and he could be back on TV “relatively soon.”
Asked a source about a potential Hulk Hogan return since rumors did pop up today. Hearing those rumors are indeed true, and it’s more likely than not Hogan is back within the WWE at some capacity relatively soon, brother.
