The show opens with WWE’s Chief Content “Triple H” Levesque, who is on stage with WWE rosters and legends, including Jimmy Hart, Brian Blair, Ted Dibyers, Gerald Brisco, Jim Duggan and Sergeant. Massacre for Hulk Hogan’s tribute. Levesque says he grew up watching Hulk Hogan. Levesque says he wouldn’t be there without Hogan. Levesque then asks the fans to observe the 10 bell salute. Fans then applaud and the “Hogan” hymn breaks out.
They then get a video package to the late Great Hulk Hogan. Hogan’s big run in the AWA was ignored except for a few seconds of footage. Levesque says he was born when Hulkamania defeated Iron Sheik to win the WWF Championship. The NWO run at WCW was also briefly featured, and it was noted that he “goes home” in 2002.
Footage of Hogan’s match with Rock on WrestleMania 18 was also on display, with commentary on Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler. Hogan’s induction to the WWE Hall of Fame was also documented. Levesque says that Hogan was “the ultimate hero until the end.” Levesque also says that Hogan passed away at the age of 71, but Furucamania will live forever.

Joe Tesitor and Wade Barrett then check in to commentary and see the exterior of the venue. They then cut into shots of the duo at the commentary desk. Tescitore talks about the draw that Hogan had and lists him in the same category as promotional Titans such as Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods.
Logan Paul is then introduced by ring announcer Mark Nash. Paul heads into the ring with promotional photos set for the podcast. Paul says it’s a good thing to be home in Cleveland. Paul says the city didn’t raise him, rather he created the city. Paul says he has nothing in common with Cleveland fans. Paul says he is hosting a live edition of his false talk show. Paul then begins to rip Jerry rolls, but he is interrupted by Jerry’s song.
Jerry Roll then makes his way with the microphone and says they didn’t need to play that song for Paul to know who his dad was. Jerry Roll says the only thing he’s ever inspired is a little kid who makes videos of himself being an asshole. Paul then tells him this is a disguised television, not to be silent, but to show respect. Fans and Logan then tell him that Jerry Roll is in the ring with giants like Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre, the makers of the moment. Paul says while Orton tagged the jelly roll. He then asks Jerry Roll who he thinks he is.
Roll tells him that he is the guy who puts him in his body bag. He then tells Logan that he doesn’t have to struggle with his life. He then says that he was a silver spoon kid for the rest of his life. He then said to represent all the poor kids who had dreams that he had not made, rather than just entering the ring for him, and who were chosen to be a high school jock like Logan. He then tells Logan that he is in the ring to bring light to the ring. He says he is there because he is a WWE fan throughout his life and WWE represents him and WWE represents each and every one of us.
He then tells Logan that he knows that Logan is just as soft as Charmin, and that Logan is a punk ass b***h. Drew McIntyre then appears from behind Logan, both standing in front of Jerry Roll. The fans then chant “Randy” and Jerry Roll and tell them that if they think he came out alone here, they made a big mistake. He then begins to sing, “I hear a voice in my head,” and Randy Orton comes out.
