Hulk Hogan Misses WWE Event Amid Fan Backlash

Hulk Hogan, the iconic WWE Hall of Famer, recently faced significant backlash from fans, being booed during his appearance on WWE RAW's Netflix debut. Despite initial promotions, Hogan will not appear at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event due to family commitments, specifically his son Nick's wedding, contrary to assumptions that his absence was due to the negative fan reception. Reports indicate that the decision was unrelated to his strained relationship with the audience or past controversies involving racist remarks. CM Punk recently fueled the conversation by mocking Hogan in a RAW promo, claiming he would eliminate Hogan from the Royal Rumble if he participated. Hogan's apparent fall from grace in the wrestling community contrasts sharply with his former status as a beloved wrestling figure, further complicated by his political views and personal controversies. WWE insiders suggest that despite the current tension, Hogan’s absence is purely due to personal reasons, and not indicative of a rift with the organization.
