WWE is set to continue honoring the legendary Hulk Hogan during the July 28 episode of Monday Night Raw. Nick Hogan, Hulk Hogan’s son, was recently seen behind the scenes at an event in Detroit, Michigan.
Terry Borea, known as Hulk Hogan, passed away on July 24th at 71 years old.
The official Instagram account for Real American Beer, a brand co-founded by Hogan, shared a photo on Monday afternoon showing Nick Hogan behind the scenes at Raw. In the picture, he posed with WWE star Jey Uso and business partners Chad Bronstein and Chris Volo.
This is Nick Hogan’s first public appearance since he released a heartfelt statement on Sunday mourning his father, whom he described as his "best friend and hero."
It’s especially meaningful that WWE’s tribute to Hogan is happening in Detroit, a city tied to key moments of his storied career.
On March 29, 1987, in Pontiac, a Detroit suburb, Hulk Hogan faced Andre the Giant in the WrestleMania III main event. Hogan’s iconic body slam on the undefeated Andre in front of a record-setting crowd at the Pontiac Silverdome became one of wrestling’s most unforgettable moments, often called the "body slam heard around the world," solidifying Hulkamania as a global sensation.
Company-wide Tribute
Last Friday’s SmackDown kicked off WWE’s tribute to Hogan, featuring an emotional video package, a 10-bell salute, and appearances by wrestling legends and close friends like Jimmy Hart and Ted Dibiase.
Tonight’s Raw, held in the city where Hogan made wrestling history, promises to be another heartfelt celebration of "The Hulkster." With Nick Hogan in attendance, the event adds a powerful emotional dimension as fans, families, and the wrestling community continue to mourn a truly legendary figure.
Fan Take: This tribute to Hulk Hogan is deeply significant for WWE fans because it honors a pioneering icon whose influence helped shape modern wrestling. It also reminds the sport of its rich history and encourages the next generation of wrestlers to carry that legacy forward with passion and respect.
