#1 Hulk Hogan to crown Bobby Lashley as the new Universal Champion at Summerslam
However, the report further states that Hulk Hogan would be the special guest referee and will raise Bobby Lashley's hand in victory. The second part of the rumor is awesome, but not the first part.

At this moment, the WWE Universe would want the title to be around anyone's waist other than Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns. And, Bobby Lashley is a fitting champion having accolades in both TNA and MMA.
However, the fact that Hulk Hogan would raise Bobby Lashley's hand in victory is something to despise of. Remember, he used very derogatory racial remarks, and the WWE even stripped him of the Hall of Fame. The locker room isn't apprehensive of the return and it could only spell disaster for the WWE. Here is the full transcript (H/T: Ringsidenews):
“Apparently that’s going to lead to a three-way dance at SummerSlam. Hulk Hogan will be the special referee/enforcer person outside the ring or whatever. Basically Hulk Hogan was WWE wrestling. He made WWE/WWF into the popularity it was. How about Hogan costing Brock Lesnar. Lesnar goes to the UFC making Bobby Lashley win the Universal Title and at the end of the night — rumor has it and I have not confirmed this yet, the plan going around is that Hogan raising up Bobby Lashley’s hand. Of course Bobby Lashley will be the first black Universal Champion. Hogan raising up his hand.”
