Roman Reigns has been announced as the new Team Captain for Team Hogan at WWE Crown Jewel.

It was also announced that Ali and “Shorty G” Chad Gable will be on Team Hogan.

Team Hogan currently includes Reigns, Rusev, Ricochet, Ali and Gable. Team Flair currently has Randy Orton, King Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley and WWE Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura. The final member of Team Flair will be revealed in the next week or so.
