The Hulkster originally picked WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins to be his team captain, but after Rollins was placed in a Universal Title match against The Fiend, it was determined that Rollins could no longer be a part of Hogan’s squad. As a result, Hogan later picked Roman Reigns to be his new captain. Ric Flair, on the other hand, took almost three weeks to announce his last player, but today he completed his team by naming Drew McIntyre in his squad.
