Brooke Hogan Explains Absence from Hulk Hogan’s WWE Tribute: “I Wasn’t Invited”
Brooke Hogan, daughter of wrestling icon Hulk Hogan, has addressed growing public curiosity surrounding her noticeable absence from the WWE tribute held in honor of her late father.
Taking to Instagram, Brooke revealed that she was not invited to the emotional Monday Night Raw event in Detroit. Her statement comes amid a wave of criticism from fans who questioned why she did not attend or publicly participate in the celebration of Hulk Hogan’s legacy.
“@WWE did not extend an invite,” she clarified in a brief but pointed post, shutting down assumptions about her silence.
The statement arrives in the wake of recent rumors alleging that Brooke had requested to be removed from her father’s will back in 2023. While she hasn’t directly commented on those claims, her decision to speak out on the tribute suggests a desire to correct the public narrative.
The WWE tribute followed Hulk Hogan’s death from cardiac arrest on July 24, 2025, at his home in Clearwater, Florida. The wrestling world and fans around the globe have since mourned the loss of the 71-year-old legend, whose career spanned decades and helped define modern professional wrestling.
Brooke’s response has sparked fresh discussions online, with some expressing sympathy and calling out WWE for the alleged oversight, while others continue to speculate on the family’s complex dynamics.
As tributes to Hulk Hogan continue across social media and wrestling forums, Brooke’s absence and her explanation has added a personal, bittersweet layer to the story of a man who was larger than life both in and out of the ring.
