Brooke Hogan is speaking out again following the death of her father, Hulk Hogan, and this time she’s addressing why she was absent from WWE’s televised tribute shows. According to her, the reason is simple—she was never invited.
On July 30, 2025, Brooke posted a message to her Instagram Story aimed at shutting down speculation over her noticeable absence from the RAW and SmackDown tributes held on July 28 and 25.
“For those of you giving me crap for not attending my Dad’s tributes, @wwe did not extend an invite.”
While the post was clear and direct, the claim has raised more questions than answers. WWE staged two major televised tributes to honor the legacy of Hulk Hogan, one of their biggest stars of all time, and yet his daughter—who once had a public presence alongside him during his run—was allegedly not invited.
Making things more complicated, her brother Nick Hogan was in attendance at the July 28 edition of WWE RAW in Detroit. That detail alone makes Brooke’s claim feel murky. If WWE was actively reaching out to the family for these events, it seems unusual that Brooke would be left out of the loop entirely.
Brooke’s comments come just a day after she shared an emotional tribute to her father, clearing the air about their relationship and expressing peace with how things ended between them. Now, the focus has shifted to behind-the-scenes dynamics between her and the company that made her father a household name.
WWE has not made any public statement regarding the claim or its invite list for the tribute shows. Ringside News has reached out for comment. We will keep you updated if we receive any additional details.
Is Brooke Hogan’s absence truly the result of an oversight by WWE—or is there more to the story than we’re being told? Please share your thoughts and feedback in the comment section below.
