Kanye West Was The Guest Of Honor At La Dinastia Wagner’s Wrestling Event In Japan

by

Kanye West is a big fan of Japanese wrestling, as he proved a couple of months ago when he “performed” at an event in the country. Well, it looks like he’s a regular attendee – or at least, as regular as an attendee can be when they spend so much time traveling the world, making music, and being as controversial as he is. Moreover, Ye recently went to another wrestling event in Japan with star La Dinastia Wagner, who actually fist-bumped him when he spotted him in the crowd. The moment was a pretty big deal for the crossover audience that’s a fan of both worlds.

Furthermore, this went down on Monday (September 30) at a Pro Wrestling NOAH event in Tokyo. In addition, other wrestlers greeted Kanye West, including Los Golpeadores, Super Crazy, and Daga. We can’t imagine that he will stay in Tokyo for long, though, as he’s also reportedly working hard on his recently announced upcoming solo album, Bully. While we wait for that drop (if it ever actually manifests, that is), check out the video with La Dinastia Wagner by clicking the “Via” link down below.

As far as other extracurricular hijinks in Kanye West’s life, his Malibu mansion’s new owner blasted him for how he gutted the property. “That was a really dumb move. Really no purpose,” Belwood Investments CEO Bo Belmont told The Los Angeles Times. “He single-handedly destroyed this architectural masterpiece. My goal is to make it as though Kanye was never there. The house will be restored right back to what it was. It would have required extensive review… There’s a process to it and he does things his own way, and the city of Malibu, they don’t care who you are they’ll hold you accountable.”

Meanwhile, Kanye West seems like he’s in a more relatively chill space right now compared to other moments throughout 2024. Fans really enjoyed his Eastern shows in Korea and China, including a wholesome performance of “Only One” to the song’s inspiration, his daughter North West. Whether wrestling matches or real estate moves contribute to it, we hope that Ye continues to heal.

Cardi B Assists The WWE In Announcing Inaugural Two-Night SummerSlam Event For 2025

by

Cardi B has been making a lot of headlines for her newest social media debacle with Offset. The ex-couple have been putting each other on blast for cheating allegations and more. The former Migos group mate has been claiming that she’s been having a hard time moving on. However, she revealed some pretty salacious text messages that would prove otherwise. Also, Cardi B helping the WWE announce this new SummerSlam format for next year is also making her point in some way too.

According to Billboard, The Bronx superstar took to Instagram to drop a mini trailer for the still popular entertainment company. In the clip, Ms. B teams up with female wrestling star Bianca Belair to reveal that one the most coveted events in the sport is getting some special treatment. In 2025, SummerSlam will be heading to MetLife Stadium in New Jersey for not one night, but two nights. It’s the first time ever for this sort of format, so it’s obviously a big deal.

So, why not have Cardi do it? She’s a major artist, but also has the knack for making things fun and light-hearted. “I got two words for you: SummerSlam. MetLife”, she says with excitement to Belair. The latter hilariously responds, “I’m pretty sure that’s one word”. Some may be wondering though, why Cardi for this promo? She’s been a fan of the program for a long time, so this had to have been a nice full-circle moment for her.

What are your thoughts on Cardi B announcing the WWE with unveiling the first-ever two-night SummerSlam? Do you think this was a subtle jab at Offset? How do you feel about the WWE putting this on? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Cardi B.

Travis Scott Is Now Rey Mysterio’s Tag Team Partner In The WWE

by

Travis Scott has one of the most extensive extracurricular resumes out of any contemporary rap star, and it just keeps on growing. Moreover, he was at Fanatics Fest over the weekend in New York City, where he also announced that Days Before Rodeo will drop on streaming services very soon. But another big reveal was when Rey Mysterio announced La Flame as his new tag team partner in the WWE. It was a pretty bombastic occasion, with Scott coming out donning his own custom mask to the tune of his 2023 hit “FE!N.” Let’s see what else this partnership holds, and if it’s a successful one, we hope that we get plenty of chances to see them make some magic in the ring.

“Are you guys ready for me to introduce my latest tag team partner?” Rey Mysterio asked the crowd at Fanatics Fest. “Are you ready? Alright. This man has shaped the landscape for hip-hop. He is an icon. He is also on ‘SICKO MODE.’ He is a rapper, producer, songwriter, and Grammy-nominated. Let’s give it up for the highest in the room, my newest tag team partner, Travis Scott!”

Rey Mysterio Announces Travis Scott As His New Tag Team Partner

In other Travis Scott news, he continued to build his relationship with the streaming world by competing in a foot race with IShowSpeed. It was pretty comical and heartening to see, especially as you could see their entourages (Quavo included) have a great time. We don’t always get to see more innocent and playful peeks behind the celebrity curtain, but thanks to this popular avenue of content creation, we have more of them than ever. Hopefully this trend evolves in a positive way, as we all know that over-exposure can also exhaust fans’ attention spans pretty quickly.

Meanwhile, Travis Scott also popped out for at least a couple of shows during Future and Metro Boomin’s tour. Their Brooklyn performance in particular seemed like a truly electric affair, which is the energy that Travis hopes to bring to his Latin American run later this year. Now, we know that we will get to see him on multiple stages in the near future. Let’s see how the WWE’s latest celebrity guest holds up.

Hulk Hogan’s Ridiculous RNC Speech Gets Roasted In Oblivion

by

Hulk Hogan is a former wrestler who is known for his unhinged personality. Moreover, he is also known for more than one racism scandal. However, he is still beloved by his fans and for better or for worse, he is a pop culture icon. That said, he is also a huge fan of Donald Trump. In fact, on Thursday night, Hulk Hogan was one of the speakers at the Republican National Convention. The RNC had a ton of bizarre guests, so there is no doubt that Hogan fit right in.

In the clip below, you can see that Hogan ripped off his shirt was acting unhinged during the speech. Moreover, he came through and called Donald Trump is hero, which is a bit weird for a grown man to say. Either way, it was a whole charade that had the internet talking. In fact, many felt as though this entire speech was a great example of how the state of American politics are in complete disarray. After all, you don’t see many other countries engaging in this kind of show.

Hulk Hogan Unhinged

“Its crazy to grow up loving people and not even realizing who they really are are,” one person wrote. “We haven’t forgot about that recording Hulk Hogan and what you said about black people,” wrote another. Needless to say, there is a lack of confidence in the political system right now. Trump has always relied on celebrity support, so this should not be surprising. Only time will tell whether or not it translates to electoral success.

Let us know what you think about all of this, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that this is going to be a good ploy for getting more votes in the election? Is it smart to use wrestlers as a means of furthering political participation? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the world.

Sexyy Red Shows Out At WWE Once Again, Twerks With NXT Star Lola Vice 

by

On June 9, NXT Battleground, a WWE special event, took place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. It was an exciting evening filled with star power, nonstop action, and captivating matches starring top NXT talents. Sexyy Red was once again in attendance and hosted the night like a pro. She gave the show’s introduction, congratulated Kelani Jordan on her victory, and celebrated with NXT champion Trick Williams following his successful retention in the main event. She, of course, made some viral moments along the way, like Twerking with NXT talent and cooking with WWE legend Shawn Michaels.

But she also had a few other moments that appear to be gaining the kind of internet attention that WWE was hoping for when they chose to work with Red. One occurred during the main program when Lola Vice and Sexyy ran into each other following Shayna Baszler’s defeat in an NXT Underground match. Since neither of the women had ever been called shy, Red felt free to turn their tandem twerk into a trio with interviewer Sarah Schreiber.

Schreiber was a good sport about it and retweeted the above, showcasing some of her skills outside of wrestling. After the show, Sexxy Red had some more fun with her favorite sexy boy. NXT head honcho Shawn Michaels made an appearance alongside TNA Knockouts champion Jordynne Grace. He leaned into the chef joke, obviously enjoying dancing with the woman who he lobbied for to get on the show. He gave Battleground a five-star rating for dinner. Sexyy Red may be looking to catapult into the ring as an actual wrestler soon. That would draw some eyeballs to NXT.

The group is seen in a kitchen scene when Sexyy Red exclaims, “I’ve got two coming in hot!” as Grace closes the door to an appliance. Shawn Michaels then called NXT Battleground a “five-star meal” while jokingly donning a chef’s hat in remembrance of his legendary DX segment from 2009. Michaels posed with Grace and Red at the end of the film, perfectly encapsulating the lively mood of the night. Overall, Shawn Michaels has been cooking up quite a show with NXT, and Sexxy Red may have been the perfect ingredient to add.

Sexyy Red Makes Her Explosive Wrestling Debut On WWE NXT

by

Sexyy Red is continuing to ascend up the pop culture ladder. Her 2024 single “Get It Sexyy,” peaked at number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100, and her latest EP, In Sexyy We Trust, features a high-profile feature from Drake. It was only a matter of time before she crossed over into other arenas, and she did so, quite literally, into an arena on May 28. The rapper made her wrestling debut on a Tuesday night episode of WWE NXT opposite superstar Tatum Paxley.

Sexyy Red was shown to be in the crowd when the episode started, but nobody expected her to become a part of the storyline involving the NEW NXT Women’s North American Title. Red was introduced to the massive bass hits of her own music before she took the microphone and let the audience what was what. The rapper announced that she will the guest host of the upcoming Battleground live event. The event is set for Sunday, June 9, at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. She also linked up with NXT general manager Ava to unveil the North American Title belt. She held the belt above her head and parading around the ring. It wasn’t all love for Sexyy Red, though.

Sexyy Red Will Host The Upcoming Battleground Event

The aforementioned Tatum Paxley showed up out of nowhere and tried to snatch the title from the rapper, but Michin showed up in time to stop her. Sexyy Red actually teased her appearance on NXT through X, tweeting that fans might get to see her lay down an RKO. She deleted the tweet, but fans were hoping she’d make good on her promise with Paxley. Sexyy Red didn’t get her hands dirty this episode. There’s a very good chance we could see her lay down her anticipated RKO when she hosts Battleground, however.

Sexyy Red has been trying to get on WWE for a while. The rapper tweeted at the organization back in October 2023 and asked, point blank, when she’d be invited. “I wanna see this happen fr,” she wrote in reference to a video of superstar Jay Uso. “When yal gonna invite me.” The Usos responded to her and told her they’d get her involved as a “special guest.” It took a little while, but it looks as though the made good on their promise. Sexyy Red has previously praised wrestlers like Trick Williams and the Meta-Four. We can’t wait to see what she gets up to in the ring.

Patrick Mahomes Assists Logan Paul On Monday Night Raw

by

This week’s Monday Night Raw took place in Kansas City. Whenever the WWE visits a city that is home to an NFL franchise, you can expect to see some star players from that team show up during the broadcast in the crowd. Recently retired NFL center Jason Kelce has made a couple of in-ring appearances over the past couple of months. The WWE and the NFL have a lot in common, so it only makes sense for them to link up with one another. The WWE brought out Patrick Mahomes and US champion Logan Paul this week, and it was out of control. The Super Bowl champion gave Paul a big assist with some Super Bowl flair. 

Logan Paul, the reigning US champion in the WWE, is not resting on his laurels. His recent victory at WrestleMania, where he outshone WWE Legend Randy Orton and the great Kevin Owens in a triple-threat match, is just the beginning. Paul is determined to make a name for himself in the world of wrestling, and his performance on Monday Night Raw was a promising glimpse into his future success as a villain.

Patrick Mahomes entered the arena with Paul and his crew, and Paul was dining on his championship belt. During Paul’s segment on Raw, Paul, Finn Balor, and JD McDonagh were all in the ring at the same time, putting a beating on Jey Uso. Paul slid out of the ring and approached Patrick Mahomes, who was sitting in the front row. Mahomes gave him some assistance using a pair of brass knuckles. After Mahomes took out his three Super Bowl rings and gave them to Paul, the quarterback threw them on, gave Mahomes a quick pat on the back, and stepped back into the ring.

Paul got ready to deliver a devastating blow to Jey Uso with the Super Bowl ring brass knuckles. Unfortunately for Paul and his crew, Uso saw it coming and got out of the way at the last moment. Paul’s teammate McDonagh took the punch and all of those diamonds to the face. Jey Uso dodged a bullet and laughed it off. Overall, Patrick Mahome’s appearance on Monday Night Raw was pretty entertaining. We hope it’s not his last appearance with the WWE.
