Hulk Hogan teased during an interview with Jay Reddick of the Orlando Sentinel that he may appear at the WWE Crown Jewel event and WrestleMania 35 next year.
A few months ago, rumors that he could appear at Crown Jewel on November 2nd, 2018 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia at the King Saud University Stadium started once the Chairman of the General Sports Authority in Saudi Arabia (Al-Sheikh) sent out a photo on his official Twitter account of Hogan.
“There are a lot of plans in the works,” Hogan said. “I’m looking forward to going to Saudi Arabia with the WWE, looking forward to WrestleMania — but yeah, we’re moving forward at a rapid pace. It’s exciting to have this opportunity again after all these years where I was there and gone.”
He was reinstated into the WWE Hall of Fame earlier this year after Hogan was fired from WWE in the summer of 2015 after racially charged comments from a sex tape came to light. The WWE Hall of Famer stated he has a few ideas of how he would like to end his career in the pro wrestling business and WWE.
“This is a total ego trip, but this is what I would love: To be the hood ornament of the WWE, to be the Babe Ruth of the WWE, and to always be around when any of the big stuff is going on…” Hogan said. “I sure would love to be a part of the WrestleManias and the big events and the grand openings and the new conquests of the WWE. Saudi Arabia! Hong Kong! China! Antarctica! The North Pole! Whatever it is, I’d like to be part of the ongoing growth of the wrestling business, and be with WWE the whole time, that’s the only place to be.”
Hogan was backstage at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view event where he held a meeting with Superstars to talk to them about privacy as a celebrity and the incident that got him shunned from WWE for years.
