Nick Hogan made his presence felt in Detroit just before WWE Raw kicked offstepping onto the entrance ramp at the arena ahead of WWEs ongoing tribute to his late father, Hulk Hogan.
The 33-year-old was photographed standing with Jey Uso, his Wife and his friends on the iconic Raw stage before the broadcast began, marking his first public WWE appearance since the Hulksters passing last Thursday at the age of 71.
TMZ previously reported Nick would be at Raw, but now thats confirmed with this pre-show photo that puts him front and center on one of WWEs biggest stages. Its unclear if hell appear on TV, but his presence sets the tone for what could be another heartfelt night of tributes.
WWE began honoring Hulk Hogan on last weeks SmackDown, bringing out wrestling legends like Jimmy Hart, Sgt. Slaughter, and Ted DiBiase for a 10-bell salute. The segment also included Bruce Prichard, Triple H, and most of the locker room standing in solidarity on stage. WWE aired several video packages chronicling Hogans legendary career.
Nick Hogan also addressed his fathers death in a post on Instagram Sunday, writing: This has been an extremely difficult loss. You were the most incredible person Ive ever known. Youll always be my hero.
The post included a carousel of personal photos, showing the two through different stages of lifeboth in and out of the spotlight.
Hulk Hogans daughter, Brooke Hogan, has yet to comment publicly. TMZ reported her last conversation with her father occurred in 2023 before his wedding to Sky Daily. She has remained out of the public eye since giving birth to twins and stepping away from the entertainment industry.
Nicks moment on the ramp before Raw may not be an official segment, but it sends a message. The Hogan legacy is being acknowledged, with his son front and center in the arena he once ruled.
