Before the times of “Total Divas” and in between seasons of “WWE Tough Enough,” reality television fans got their weekly dose of fights (each physically and verbally) through “Jersey Shore,” a series following dynamic housemates of their coastal, though drama-filled vacation home. Castmates Angelina Pivarnick and Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi later took their physicality to the wrestling ring as well. Per a recent tweet, it seems that one other member of the hit MTV show could soon be following suit.
“I promised someone I really like very much that I’d never return to being that person… but for you, I will make an exception,” wrote Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino. “We now have a Situation.”

Sorrentino’s post is available in response to seeing his name amongst a contender’s list crafted by WWE NXT Heritage Cup Champion Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo. Lorenzo claimed the NXT Heritage Cup with a win over Tony D’Angelo, his former stablemate in The Family, on “WWE NXT” two weeks ago. Since then, he’s successfully defended it against Dante Chen. Looking ahead, he’s wanting to raise it up against an exclusive list of eight potential challengers, including Sorrentino, Lexis King, Santino Marella, and Logan Paul’s father. Sorrentino, also a long-time wrestling fan, molded his reality show persona to parallel Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, a former WWE Champion and current member of the TKO Board of Directors.
As of now, there isn’t a word on whether the exchange between Lorenzo and Sorrentino will materialize into an actual wrestling match. Interestingly, WWE will soon head to Latest Jersey for the 2025 SummerSlam premium live event on August 2 and three.
