Back in July of 2015, the WWE terminated their contract with Hulk Hogan after his now infamous racist rant. The WWE cut all ties with Hogan, removing him from their website, from his job judging Tough Enough, all of his merchandise from WWE shop and their programming. It was clear that the company wanted nothing to do with him and were trying to distance themselves from him entirely.
Are we slowly seeing the WWE testing out a Hulk Hogan WWE return? Over the past week or so, fans have mentioned that they have been seeing Hulk Hogan advertisements on the WWE Network:
don’t know if it means anything…but a lot of Hulk Hogan on that WWE Network advert…#WWEBacklash

Every time I see this WWE Network ad, I have to double take with the Hulk Hogan clips. Looks like he’s coming back.

It looks to me like the WWE is slowly phasing Hogan back into their programming and might be testing the waters to bring him back in the future. Hogan has been adamant about wanting to return to the WWE’s good books one day.

I am not saying he is going to be showing up on RAW or Smackdown anytime soon but the fact that he is being shown in ads tells us that the WWE is slowly phasing him back into things. Let us know what you think in the comment section below!
Hogan should use the money from his court case to sort his body out before stepping anywhere near wwe
