WWE is now officially advertising Hulk Hogan for Friday’s Crown Jewel event from Saudi Arabia. On Wednesday, WWE added Hogan to their Crown Jewel lineup on their official website and mobile app. If Hogan appears at the event, it will mark his first time appearing on a WWE show since 2015.
Hogan told The Orlando Sentinel last week that he was heading to Saudi Arabia with the company. WWE’s efforts to promote Hogan’s recent public appearances are seen as an effort to gauge fan interest in the Hall of Famer’s return.
For what it’s worth, Hogan also told the Sentinel that he’ll be at WrestleMania next year.
WWE cut ties with Hogan in 2015 after a sex tape was leaked featuring Hogan using racial slurs. In July, Hogan was reinstated to the WWE Hall of Fame, and he visited backstage at a WWE event to apologize to the locker room. Hogan is currently in civil court with the people he says stole the tape from his former best friend Bubba The Love Sponge.
We’ll be providing live play-by-play coverage of Crown Jewel right here on Friday at noon Eastern Time.
