New nWo? Hulk Hogan, Bischoff hint at wrestling return with secret third man
Released Monday, the video mirrors the classic New World Order vignettes that helped transform wrestling in the late 1990s, and teases the return of a major third figure.
Hogan kicks off the teaser by declaring, 'Why so serious? Because you know who I am,' immediately channeling his infamous heel persona. Bischoff follows up with a dramatic tone: 'But you don't know why he's here… Hulkster, we are so back.'
The duo alludes to shaking up the wrestling world again, just like they did nearly 30 years ago with the formation of the original nWo. They repeatedly hint at a 'third man,' drawing direct comparisons to the moment Hogan shocked the world by turning heel in 1996.
'You're not going to know what hit you,' Hogan warns, while Bischoff tantalizes fans by saying, 'Should we talk about his credentials? No. Not yet… but stay tuned.'
According to PWInsider Elite, while speculation suggests this could be the start of a new wrestling venture, no official moves or talent approaches have been confirmed. Sources indicate full details could emerge by the end of this week.
With Hogan calling the mystery figure 'a real, real badass,' and Bischoff promising something that will 'rock your world,' fans are left to wonder: is this a nostalgia act or a legit industry disruption?
We'll be watching closely as this nWo-style tease continues to unfold.

Epic Games CEO criticises report on Disney mode delays in Fortnite as 'BS'
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney has strongly denied recent claims in The Wall Street Journal that Disney has delayed the development of Fortnite's upcoming Disney mode due to slow decision-making by the entertainment giant. The WSJ report suggested internal frustration within Epic over the pace of Disney sign-offs, stating the new mode would not launch until 'fall 2026 at the earliest.' Executives were said to be unhappy with delays caused by multiple layers of approval. Responding on social media, Sweeney labelled the anonymous remark as 'BS.' He wrote: 'The speed of Disney and Epic collaborations like Darth Vader has been awesome and is around 10x the ordinary speed of media company dealings in this business. We even provided a statement to the writer… but they chose not to print it.' The Disney collaboration was first revealed in February 2024. Details remain limited, although concept art has hinted at a virtual Disneyland-style environment featuring themed hubs. The specific gameplay elements of this mode remain undisclosed. The WSJ noted that Josh D'Amaro, head of Disney Parks and Resorts, is overseeing the project and has reportedly spent time with Sweeney during development. The article also raised concerns over legal ownership of fan-created content involving Disney characters, such as in-game dances. Epic's partnership with Disney has already resulted in extensive Fortnite content, including Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, and classic animation skins. One recent initiative tested an AI-powered Darth Vader character who could interact via generative speech, engaging with over 10 million players despite early moderation issues. Fortnite is entering its next season, featuring a mutated biome and guest appearances from Halo characters.

Keamari gets tasteful makeover with 'Fish Food Street'
A new culinary destination has opened in Keamari, as the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) unveiled the city's first 'Fish Food Street', designed to promote local cuisine, tourism, and cultural vibrancy in one of the oldest seaside districts of the metropolis. The inauguration ceremony on Sunday drew a large crowd, including residents, foodies, and dignitaries from across the political spectrum. Among those present were Deputy Mayor Karachi Salman Abdullah Murad, MPA Asif Khan, MPA Liaquat Askani, Deputy Parliamentary Leader Dil Muhammad, Mauripur Town Chairman Humayun Khan, Vice Chairman Asif Kausar, City Council members, and other elected representatives. City Mayor Murtaza Wahab, who formally inaugurated the food street, said that Keamari's Fish Food Street is more than just a culinary hotspot - it's a symbol of revitalisation. "A new centre for entertainment and taste has been established for the people of Karachi," he said, highlighting the colorful aesthetic of the area with its vibrant umbrellas, decorative lighting, and inviting nighttime ambiance. The mayor further stated that the food street offers a rich variety of local and traditional cuisine, particularly fresh seafood and BBQ, catering to both residents and tourists. Comfortable seating, family-friendly arrangements, and scenic surroundings aim to enhance the overall visitor experience. Mayor Wahab explained that the project includes 62,000 square feet of paving blocks, 35,000 square feet of tuff tiles, 25 Victorian-style light poles, and 1,400 running feet of new sewerage lines. Two grand arch-style entrance gates with signage, 3,000 feet of kerbstone, 100,000 square feet of road patchwork, and the installation of 500 colourful umbrellas add to the charm and functionality of the space. "This project gives citizens a unique recreational space where aesthetics and accessibility come together," he said. "Under the leadership of Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, such people-centric projects are being developed across Karachi without discrimination." He stressed that the Fish Food Street fulfills a long-standing demand of Keamari residents, who had hoped for a food street on par with Burns Road. "Promises were made before, but never kept," Mayor Wahab said. "Now, under PPP's governance, we're not just making announcements - we're delivering." Looking ahead, the city mayor shared additional development plans for Keamari and adjacent areas. He announced progress on rerouting heavy port traffic away from residential areas via Shahrah-e-Bhutto to Kathore. The section from Qayyumabad to Quaidabad is already operational, serving more than 12,000 vehicles daily, while the Kathore segment will be inaugurated by Bilawal on Dec 31. He also cited the restoration of key infrastructure, including Netty Jetty, Jinnah Bridge, and ICI Bridge, all undertaken during the current PPP-led government. In addition to transport and food infrastructure, Mayor Wahab highlighted improvements in health, water supply, sanitation, and sports facilities. He announced that a 100mgd canal from Hub Dam will be inaugurated on August 14, bringing much-needed water to Keamari and Karachi's western districts. He also referenced the TP-3 sewage treatment plant in Mauripur, being developed to support both environmental conservation and local fishermen. Health services are also expanding in the area, with a SICVD satellite center recently opened in Baldia Town to provide cardiac care close to home. For recreation and sports, a new sports complex in Mauripur Town is expected to open by year's end, while a Rs1.2 billion complex in Baldia will be completed by March 2026. Reaffirming his commitment to inclusive development, the mayor said, "Karachi is a beautiful bouquet of communities. It's not language or ethnicity that divides us - it's the mindset of division that must be rejected." He called on all political parties to work together on a "Charter of Karachi" for unified action on the city's challenges. The mayor announced the restoration of six historic markets in Karachi to preserve the city's heritage, adding, "I was born here, and I will continue working for this city like it's my own family. Karachi's revival is underway - and everyone is invited to be a part of it."

Amber Heard tilts toward theatre life in Spain following name change
Amber Heard appears to have turned a new page in her life, personally and professionally, since relocating to Spain in the aftermath of her legal dispute with Johnny Depp. The actress, who now reportedly goes by the pseudonym Martha Jane Cannary, has embraced a quieter existence in Madrid while simultaneously making her professional stage debut. After the conclusion of her high-profile defamation trial in 2022, Heard left California and settled first on Mallorca and then in Madrid. She reportedly adopted the name Martha Jane Cannary, an homage to the legendary Calamity Jane, as a way to reclaim privacy and anonymity in public life. She speaks fluent Spanish and has described Spain as her home, choosing it for its relative calm following intense media scrutiny in the US. In May 2025 Heard surprised fans by announcing that she had welcomed twins, Agnes and Ocean, joining her daughter Oonagh Paige, born in 2021 via surrogate. Her Instagram post on Mother's Day reflected both achievement and fulfilment, 'My daughter Agnes and my son Ocean are keeping my hands (and my heart) full,' she wrote. Professionally, Heard has shifted from film to theatre, performing in Spirit of the People, a bilingual play by Jeremy O. Harris at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in Massachusetts. This marks her first acting role since 2023 and her debut on any theatrical stage. The production ran through early August 2025 and Gilbert produced increasingly positive feedback. Published photos and reviews praised her performance. Vanity Fair dubbed her portrayal 'exceptional particularly for someone in her professional theatrical debut,' noting her ability to embody a complex, Williams‑style character stretched across English and Spanish lines. The role showcased Heard's language fluency and emotional range. Fans and festival-goers echoed the sentiment, showering her with admiration and thanks on social media. At present, Heard has no confirmed upcoming film projects listed on IMDb, and there have been no public announcements regarding a return to Hollywood or the screen. Instead, her current trajectory appears focused on motherhood and artistic experimentation onstage. The name change, the move abroad, the bilingual theatre piece, and her expanding family suggest a deliberate departure from her previous public persona.
