AEW President's response to Linda
The AEW President not pleased with Linda Hogan's tweet
Many fans are pointing out that Tony probably meant ex-husband, and was talking about Hogan, a.k.a. Terry Bollea. Linda hasn't responded to Khan's tweet yet. It should be noted that Hulk Hogan received major backlash for making racist remarks in a controversial tape that was leaked on the web, which ultimately led to WWE removing all references to him from their site. Hogan was reinstated in the WWE Hall of Fame in 2018, and has made several appearances for WWE since then.

While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
