WWE bringing back Hogan for Wrestlemania 35 weekend.
Hulk Hogan will reportedly be among the many WWE superstars featured during Wrestlemania 35 weekend in April.
According to Pro Wrestling Insider’s Mike Johnson, Hogan’s imminent return will mark his first Wrestlemania weekend since Wrestlemania 31 in San Jose, when hear appeared as part a surprise NWO reunion.
It’s unclear what role Hogan will be in, but there appears to be a growing belief that he’ll be involved with the 2019 WWE Hall Fame ceremony on the eve Wrestlemania 35, April 6.
Johnson writes:
“It’s been a slow process to reintegrate Hulk Hogan back into WWE and that will continue with Hogan coming in for Wrestlemania 35. He could be doing community outreach appearances. It’s possible he’ll have a cameo on the PPV, but even more likely he may be involved in inducting his long-time friend Brutus Beefcake into the WWE Hall Fame. Beefcake’s induction has been rumored for several weeks. PWInsider.com can report that WWE sources have confirmed that the company is bringing Beefcake in for Wrestlemania 35 weekend as well. While that doesn’t confirm the induction, the puzzle pieces are certainly there to make that conclusion.”
Johnson also reports that WWE is mulling plans for other former superstars, with “Steve Austin’s name floating around quite a bit.”
Wrestlemania 35 is scheduled to take place on Sunday, April 6 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, but WWE has an exhausting number events planned in and around NYC starting Thursday, April 4.
