Hulk Hogan has been at the center of controversy since his return on Raw’s Netflix debut. The Hulkster received an unexpected reaction from the WWE Universe, getting booed out of the building. Despite the negative reception, Hogan’s spirit remained unshaken, as he was later spotted backstage enjoying a beer with former WWE Champion Rey Mysterio.
In a video shared on Real American Beer’s X account, Hogan praised Mysterio as the “greatest luchador of all time.” With mutual respect, the two stars raised a toast to Raw’s success on Netflix. After taking a sip, The Master of 619 appeared impressed by the taste of Hogan’s beer, creating a wholesome moment despite the disastrous reception Hogan faced earlier.
Moreover, Hogan was brutally mocked during this week’s Pat McAfee Show, fueling yet another controversy. It seems the WWE Universe has largely rejected The Hulkster, possibly due to his association with Donald Trump. The incident garnered significant media attention, even being featured on NBC.
WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry weighed in on Hogan’s appearance during his Netflix debut, stating that Hogan did not make any effort to repair his image, which likely led to him being booed out of the building at Raw. It remains to be seen how the future will unfold for the former WCW superstar in this new era of WWE.
Backstage reaction to Hulk Hogan’s Raw on Netflix appearance
Hulk Hogan being booed by the WWE Universe came as a surprise to many, including The Hulkster himself. Apparently, WWE did not anticipate such a strong reaction from the fans. This has raised questions about how the incident was received backstage. According to a new report, details have emerged regarding WWE’s backstage reaction to Hogan being booed.
According to Fightful, WWE has plans for a prolonged partnership with Hogan’s beer brand, which is why there was no significant backstage discussion about the incident. However, the negative reception Hogan received did catch many backstage by surprise. This has raised questions about how WWE will choose to present The Hulkster moving forward.
Moreover, there has been speculation about presenting Hulk Hogan as a heel character on-screen in 2025. Discussions suggest that WWE might capitalize on the backlash the former WCW star has been receiving. If this plan materializes, the road to WrestleMania 41 could take an unpredictable turn, adding intrigue for the fans.
