What Impact Did Hulk Hogan’s RAW Appearance Have on the WWE Locker Room?

by

The comeback of Hulk Hogan during the debut of WWE RAW on Netflix at the Inuit Dome in Los Angeles didn’t go as planned for him. Hogan and his long-term manager, Jimmy Hart, made an appearance to endorse their “Real American Beer,” but the event turned out to be less than successful.

Following a prolonged break from TV appearances, Hogan anticipated a heartfelt welcome, but the reception he received was far from warm. Instead, the Los Angeles crowd at the Intuit Dome resoundingly booed Hogan. Despite his attempts to reminisce about the fans’ past affection, the boos only grew more intense.

In time, it became clear that both Hulk Hogan and WWE were taken aback by the audience’s response towards him. Yet, there were numerous theories suggesting that the jeers might stem from his political stances and controversial racial comments made earlier.

During the ongoing dispute, it was disclosed that WWE and Hogan had talks about making him a villain (heel) to profit from the situation. As Hogan made an appearance, reports came out detailing the responses of WWE stars to his show participation.

Based on Fightful Select’s exclusive report (accessible through a paid subscription), recent developments concerning WWE Superstars’ attitudes towards Hulk Hogan following his appearance have been disclosed. The report revealed that when inquired about the current WWE wrestlers’ opinions of Hogan, one insider stated that many wrestlers perceive Hogan as insincere. However, there is not much further elaboration on this sentiment.

Behind-the-scenes chatter about Hulk Hogan’s upcoming appearance on WWE RAW has sparked talk of another visit from him. It’s been reported that he’ll show up on January 25 at the Saturday Night’s Main Event in San Antonio, Texas, hosted by WWE. Given the controversy surrounding his past, it will be intriguing to see how fans respond to his comeback.
