Hulk Hogan has suffered no loss despite recent backlash in WWE, says Hall of Famer (Exclusive)

WWE Legend Hulk Hogan recently made an appearance on RAW but unexpectedly garnered a negative reaction from fans. However, NWA Hall of Famer Bill Apter thinks that this has not affected him in any significant way.

RAW's first episode on Netflix was packed with great matches and high-profile cameo appearances, including Hulk Hogan. While the company expected him to elicit a great reaction from fans, his entrance was almost immediately drowned out in a sea of boos from the audience.

Despite this backlash, Bill Apter believes Hogan's brand has not taken any significant hit. Speaking on Sportskeeda's UnSKripted, the veteran stated that Hogan was doing well with his Real American Beer as well:

"He hasn't been hurt by it at all, though, financially or anything. He hasn't been hurt by his comments. [On being questioned about Hogan's merch sales dropping] Well, you are right, WWE shop. He is making up for it with the beer." [16:45 onwards]

Alberto Del Rio returning to WWE?

He would have Reigns’ stablemates excommunicate him, laying the foundation for a gimmick change for the former.
