Hulk Hogan and WWE look to have had a parting of the ways - but could it be because he has been linked with a slot on Channel 5's Celebrity Big Brother?

The 61-year-old wrestling legend has trended heavily on social media since the early hours of this morning, when it was noticed that WWE had removed the Hulkster's Hall of Famer profile and his merchandisefrom their website.

Hogan - real name Terry Bollea - is currently involved in a $100 million sex tape lawsuit with Gawker Media, but the reasons for his believed departurefrom the wrestling company have not yet been confirmed.

He has, however, posted a rather unusual tweet.

In the storm I release control,God and his Universe will sail me where he wants me to be,one love. HH

The sudden removal of Hogan content from WWE.com and the frenzied speculation on social media for the reasons why has prompted the bookies to slash his odds of winning the next CBB, which is rumoured to have a UK vs US theme.

“There is nothing to confirm nor deny about the reasons as to why Hogan has disappeared from the website but whatever has happened in the past, people have often found redemption in the Celebrity Big Brother house,” said a William Hill spokesman.
