Update on Possible New Tough Enough Judge

July 28, 2015 | Posted by Jeremy Thomas

PWInsider has some details on some possible/rumored replacements for Hulk Hogan on Tough Enough tonight, and their likelihoods of appearing:

* Steve Austin: Austin said yesterday on Twitter that he had finished filming his latest season of Broken Skull Ranch, which means that it’s possible that he could fly to Orlando for the show. As the site notes though, Austin is the kind of personality who could push the show’s ratings, which means WWE and USA would likely be promoting him if that was the case.

* Ric Flair: The site notes that all indications are that Flair will not be the replacement judge.

* Shawn Michaels: Michaels was seen in Philadelphia today, making it unlikely that he’ll be in Orlando for the show.

* Bret Hart & Chris Jericho: Both names have been mentioned in the last few days as a potential replacement, with Jericho moving from host to judge if he does.
