The return of Hogan Nash and Hall to television as the nWo® or New World Order™ comes at a perfect time. The Rock® and Undertaker® are in a heated rivalry. With his estranged wife Stephanie McMahon Helmsley™ serving as guest referee Triple H™ and Kurt Angle™ will battle it out in a No. 1 Contenders Match with the winner earning a shot at the Undisputed Championship at WrestleMania®. And the reign of current Undisputed Champion Chris Jericho™ is being threatened by Stone Cold Steve Austin™. Noted Mr. McMahon "The return of Hogan Nash and Hall should propel the WWE into utter chaos. Starting at No Way Out I expect Hogan Nash and Hall to shake up the status quo much to my great delight."

Hogan rose to prominence during his first tour with the WWE from 1983 to 1993 where he headlined the first nine WrestleManias and appeared in motion pictures.
