Hulk Hogan and John Cena never had the opportunity to square-off

#7 Hulk Hogan vs ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin

Following Hulk Hogan’s return to the WWE in 2002, ‘The Hulkster’ returned to the company as the leader of the New World Order in his Hollywood Hogan persona, alongside his fellow stablemates Kevin Nash and Scott Hall. Immediately after his comeback to the WWE, Hogan and the nWo went on to ignite a feud against two of WWE’s biggest stars at that point of time in the form of The Rock and his former arch-rival ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin.

Therefore, the cards were all lined-up in place for a mega showdown between Hogan and either The Rock and ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin, who were both having heated issues against the New World Order at that point of time. WWE eventually went ahead with an Icon vs Icon match between Rock and Hogan for ‘Mania X8 and despite an absolutely amazing contest between the two icons, the WWE Universe around the globe surely did miss out on a dream match between Austin and Hogan instead.
