Hulk Hogan vs Triple H

After almost a decade away from the WWE, the Superstar who was one of the key men to take WWE and pro wrestling to new heights returned. Hulk Hogan, after wrestling in WCW and a short stint at NJPW before that, made his return to WWE at No Way Out in 2002.

In April of that year, at Backlash, he defeated Triple H for the WWE Championship (WWF Championship; was the last person to hold the WWF Championship following which it was renamed WWE Championship) at the age of 48.

This was Hogan's final WWE Championship and the sixth of his career. A month later at the Judgement Day PPV, he lost the belt to The Undertaker and the following year his contract was terminated.
