Why was Hogan booed during RAW on Netflix

Before CM Punk and Seth Rollins’ headliner event, Hulk Hogan made an appearance alongside Jimmy Hart at the RAW on Netflix debut. His appearance was mainly for a promo for the Real American Beer, which the Hulkster was seen opening up on the screen. But instead of being cheered on, the WWE legend was booed by the audience In the Innuit Dome, in Los Angeles.
Many guessed the reaction was related to his political standing. Hulk has been a vocal supporter of Donald Trump, and coming to LA he “thought it was going to be 50/50,” how the audience perceives him. And seems like his apprehensions proved correct. Back in July, 2023, Trump survived an assassination attempt, which changed things for the Hulkster. Appearing on Patrick-Bet David's PBD podcast, he said “I don't want to split my audience as a businessman, but now I don't care.”

Whether it is a red state like Texas or a blue state like Los Angeles, the Hulkster is going to dance to his own beats, no matter what others have to say about it.
