Evening Daily News Update

By Garth Holmberg on 25 July 2025

From the pages of the BOD Magazine, here’s Update!

Good evening, Doomers! It’s Friday, and we’ve got Smackdown, which will likely feature a ton of tributes to Hulk Hogan, who passed away Thursday morning at the age of 71. SummerSlam is only a WEEK away, and man, it feels weird that WrestleMania (ending in the 3rd week of April) and SummerSlam are this close together. Scheduled for tonight we’ve got a Tag Team Title Match featuring the Wyatt Sicks defending against Andrade and Rey Fenix, Alexa Bliss goes one-on-one with Roxanne Perez, and we’ve got appearances from the Jelly Roll guy, Randy Orton, Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul.

Lots of contributor content this fine Friday! You can check out Saherrin’s recap of TNA Impact, Mike reviews Bash at the Beach 1995 (some might consider it a stinker), Scisco’s What the World Was Watching enters April 1994, Megabucks’ Tooned In features “The Thing” from 1979, and I’ve recapped last night’s poopy episode of ROH TV.

WWE Reveals Both Night Cards for SummerSlam
Gunther defending the Juice Box Title against CM Punk headlines Night 1, while John Cena defends the REAL World World Wrestling Championship against Cody Rhodes in a Street Fight on Night 2. In all 11 matches are confirmed, with something likely being added to Night 2 for balance.

YouTube Spotlight: Best of Hulk Hogan Matches on WWE Vault
Enjoy the live stream of Hulk Hogan matches compiled from the Vault archives. Note: This isn’t a “mix tape” or a deep cuts, but mostly matches already available on WWE’s YouTube channels. Enjoy his Slamboree 2000 match vs Billy Kidman! F.U.N.B.!

There’s so little wrestling related news worth linking that isn’t people commenting on Hogan’s passing, unless you wanted me to link to a local Tampa station interviewing Natalya about it (which is something I wish I mentioned last night as some light humor, but that’s why we have the expression you miss the shots you don’t take). I hope everyone enjoys their weekend. Keep it clean and come out dooming! – GH
