It didn’t take very long for a WWE Superstar to issue a challenge to wrestle WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan. This is after Hogan made his first appearance with the company in years once he appeared as the host of the Crown Jewel pay-per-view event last Friday at King Saud University Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. At the show, he cut a promo in the ring where he talked about being back in front of the WWE Universe.
The WWE Legend took to his official Twitter account where he talked about his WWE return at Crown Jewel by writing, “Ok, today is a new day. After seeing myself on Crown Jewel I have decided to get serious and get under 300lbs. I looked huge, swole, jacked and my arms are still bigger than most wrestlers legs. I don’t want to look like I can beat up the whole @WWE roster anymore. Only Love HH.”

This led to Rusev responding to that tweet by challenging Hogan to a match at WrestleMania 35.

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.
