Report on how WWE allegedly reacted to Hulk Hogan getting booed out of the building at RAW’s Netflix debut

At the Netflix premiere of WWE RAW on January 6th 2025, Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan cut a promo with longtime manager Jimmy Hart to hype up the event and promote his Real American Beer product. Despite praising the fans, Hogan was largely booed during the segment.

Hogan was reportedly “disappointed” but not angry about the negative reception. In regards to how people in WWE reacted to the booing, Fightful Select noted that many spoken to within the company weren’t happy about the situation becoming a common talking point from an important night as the story received mainstream news coverage. According to Fightful, “there were specifically a number of people that told us they brought up the possibility that he would get booed” and “a source said that they believed WWE would probably consider the context in which Hogan is used moving forward, and said that many knew the reaction was a possibility.”

Hogan was reportedly planned for multiple appearances tied to the Real American Beer partnership with WWE but there is speculation that they could be reduced.
