Hulk Hogan will speak at the RNC ahead of Donald Trump’s official nomination.

Ana Cabrera of MSNBC has broken the news that Hulk Hogan will be one of the guest speakers at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The convention will see Hogan’s fellow WWE Hall of Famer, Donald Trump, officially accept the nomination to run as the Republican Party’s presidential candidate in the 2024 elections.

“FIRST TO NBC: Two senior campaign officials confirmed that Hulk Hogan will speak tonight at the RNC convention ahead of former President Trump formally accepting the GOP nomination for President of the United States.”

According to POST Wrestling’s John Pollock, other guest speakers include UFC President Dana White and former WWE CEO Linda McMahon. McMahon previously served in Trump’s Cabinet as the Administrator of the Small Business Administration and is currently the Chair of the America First Action Super PAC which raises funds for Trump’s re-election effort.

Donald Trump has a long association with WWE that goes back to hosting WrestleMania 4 and 5 at Trump Plaza in Atlantic City. The controversial ex-president was directly involved in WrestleMania 23, where his rivalry with Vince McMahon came to a head in a ‘Battle of the Billionaires.’ The bout saw Bobby Lashley go to bat for Trump and defeat McMahon’s representative Umaga. The victory meant that Trump was able to shave McMahon bald.

Hulk Hogan Critical Of AEW Star Adam Copeland

Hulk Hogan has expressed his disbelief at Adam Copeland’s recent cage jump. The Rated-R Superstar injured himself jumping from the top of a steel cage onto Malakai Black at AEW Double or Nothing. Hogan questioned why Copeland was putting himself through something like that at such a late stage in his career.
