Hulk Hogan will be making his return to Raw this coming Monday.
WWE has announced that Hogan will be appearing on Monday’s Raw to honor “Mean” Gene Okerlund following Okerlund’s death.
Hogan paid tribute to Okerlund on Twitter this week: “The best partner I ever had. We never rehearsed or did anything scripted from a writer. Gene would ask me ‘hey big man what do u want to do?’ I would always answer ‘just follow you brother’ and it worked from 1980 – 2017. RIP my brother HH”
Hogan hasn’t appeared on Raw since being fired from the company in July 2015 when his racist diatribe from 2006 was leaked. Hogan was reinstated into the WWE Hall of Fame in July 2018 and apologized to the WWE locker room during a backstage meeting at Extreme Rules. He made his return to WWE programming in November as the host of Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia, but WWE hasn’t acknowledged his appearance on TV since then.
Monday’s Raw is taking place at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida.
