Hulk Hogan will be making his return to Raw this coming Monday.

WWE has announced that Hogan will be appearing on Monday's Raw to honor "Mean" Gene Okerlund following Okerlund's death.

Hogan paid tribute to Okerlund on Twitter this week: "The best partner I ever had. We never rehearsed or did anything scripted from a writer. Gene would ask me 'hey big man what do u want to do?' I would always answer 'just follow you brother' and it worked from 1980 - 2017. RIP my brother HH"

Hogan hasn't appeared on Raw since being fired from the company in July 2015 when his racist diatribe from 2006 was leaked. Hogan was reinstated into the WWE Hall of Fame in July 2018 and apologized to the WWE locker room during a backstage meeting at Extreme Rules. He made his return to WWE programming in November as the host of Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia, but WWE hasn't acknowledged his appearance on TV since then.

Monday's Raw is taking place at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida.

I don't want to conspire over Mean Gene's passing, but WWE had been waiting for a chance to bring him in on a US stage, and they got it

This is the excuse they required. Everyone associates Gene with Hogan, so it’s easy enough to do. If it’s a one off, I’m good with that, if it builds to something more. That would be horrific.

Hogan will get a pop, but I don’t want the McMahon’s equalling that it will mean we want him more often.

Who cares about Hogan...how have you NOT responded to quite possibly the greatest topic ever here, in the Non-Wrestling Section?

That all has me thinking...

How DO they go about this? Does Hogan put himself over here, or are we going to get an actual proper tribute from the absolute best man for the job? Do we get Hulk or Terry?

NOW I'm intrigued, for the wrong reasons, but intrigued none the less, and that really sucks because I was really trying not to care.

You know Hogan was almost in Metallica. And it was almost the Hogan grill instead.
