In the recent episode of his widely listened to podcast, “My World,” Jeff Jarrett shed some light on why Hulk Hogan might have been absent from the Saturday Night’s Main Event. He stated,
““Hulk’s gotten very political And is that an NBC decision or not an Endeavor decision? I truly have no clue.”
In a peculiar occurrence, Hogan was notably absent from WWE’s premiere SNME show, the first of its kind since 2008. A video montage commemorating the history of the show curiously skirted around featuring The Immortal One.
Instead, the program showcased Jesse Ventura as the commentator, bolstered by a star-studded audience from yesteryears, including names like Tito Santana, Koko B. Ware, and the vivacious Jimmy Hart.
Simultaneous to the SNME show, Hogan was seen accompanying Colby Covington to the octagon at UFC Tampa, where Covington was poised to take on Joaquin Buckley. Like Hogan, Covington is known for his strong support of Donald Trump, and he made a point to kiss a pendant depicting Trump’s head at the event. However, Covington ended up losing the fight.
