The news was first reported by TMZ on July 24, 2025. WWE confirmed the information in a statement.
” WWE is saddened to learn that WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan has passed away,” the company said. “One of pop culture’s most recognizable figures, Hogan helped WWE achieve global recognition in the 1980s. WWE extends its condolences to Hogan’s family, friends, and fans.”
Hogan was influential in the rise of wrestling worldwide and was WWE’s first major star. He held the WWE Championship six times and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame twice—in 2005 and in 2020 as part of the New World Order.
His last public appearance for WWE was at the Netflix debut of Monday Night Raw in Inglewood, California, in January.
