WWE has confirmed that Hulk Hogan will be the official host for Crown Jewel this Friday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Hogan was originally advertised on WWE's events page for the show as a “featured superstar” few hours ago, but he was removed prior to WWE confirming that he'll be hosting the event.
In the case you don't know, Hogan hasn't appeared on WWE television since 2015. WWE cut ties with Hogan and suspended him from their Hall of Fame when Hogan used racist language in audio that was later leaked to the public.
He returned to WWE this past July.
Hogan also did an interview with Orlando Sentinel last week in which he indicated that he was looking forward to going to Saudi Arabia.
Below is what he said:
“I’m looking forward to going to Saudi Arabia with the WWE, looking forward to WrestleMania -- but yeah, we’re moving forward at a rapid pace,” he said. “It’s exciting to have this opportunity again after all these years where I was there and gone.”
