Newly-reinstated WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan is backstage at WWE’s Extreme Rules 2018 event in Pittsburgh tonight.
Hogan met with the WWE locker room and formally apologized for his racist comments that originally lead to his firing from the company. Hulk acknowledged the meeting on his Twitter account hours before the beginning of Extreme Rules.
“Just met with the @WWE Superstars and on all levels the volume of love and support was overwhelming,” Hogan wrote on Twitter on Sunday. “I’ve been praying for this day and I finally feel like I made it back home. Only Love 4 the #WWEUNIVERSE brother HH”
Earlier today, WWE announced that Hogan had been reinstated into the Hall of Fame after a suspension. Hogan was released and removed from their Hall of Fame after a 2015 sex tape leak where Hogan was recorded making racially insensitive comments with Bubba The Love Sponge’s wife. Following his firing, Hogan successfully sued Gawker Media and is currently in a legal battle with a Cox Media employee who allegedly stole the tape from Bubba The Love Sponge and released it to Gawker.
