Team Hogan is complete.
On Friday’s WWE SmackDown, Hulk Hogan filled out his team for the WWE Crown Jewel showdown against Ric Flair and his team. Appearing via Skype early in the show, Hogan announced that Chad Gable, now going by Shorty G, and Ali were part of the squad. Later in the night, Roman Reigns was named as the new team captain. Seth Rollins was previously named the captain of Team Hogan, but with Rollins battling “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt at Crown Jewel, the WWE Universal Champion pulled out of the five vs. five tag team bout.
Team Hogan now consists of Reigns, Ali, Shorty G, Ricochet and Rusev. Flair’s team is currently comprised of Randy Orton, King Corbin, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Bobby Lashley. Flair will add one more superstar to his team in the coming weeks.
