• Hulk Hogan returned to WWE television, appearing during RAW’s Netflix debut on January 6, fueling speculation about his involvement in future storylines.
However, Hogan has drawn a clear line when it comes to his political support for President-elect Donald Trump. According to the Daily Mail, while Hogan supports Trump, he and WWE have agreed to keep politics out of his storylines.
Daily Mail reported – “He’s open to almost anything, but one story that won’t be used is anything that deals with Trump. Both the WWE and Hogan don’t want to go that road and make things political. Hogan supports Trump, but he’s not going to mix that support with anything he is doing in the WWE.”
Reports also suggest WWE is considering turning Hogan into a heel in response to fan reactions during his next appearance.
If fans boo him, Hogan is ready to embrace the role fully as part of a new storyline with another wrestler, ensuring his character resonates with audience expectations.
By avoiding political themes in his WWE appearances, the company aims to maintain Hogan’s relevance while sidestepping potential controversies, benefiting both Hogan and WWE.
