Nick Hogan Sets the Record Straight on Wrestling Career Plans

Nick Hogan’s name has been floating around the wrestling world for months, but now there’s a clear sign straight from him, and it’s only adding more fuel to the speculation.

The son of Hulk Hogan was recently spotted at WWE’s Performance Center earlier this year, following training sessions with NWA’s Bryan Idol. That sighting immediately led to questions about whether he was preparing for something more serious inside the ring.

Now, speaking on the Bonus Edition of the 83 Weeks podcast on April 27, 2026, Nick Hogan was directly asked about the possibility of stepping into the business himself—and his answer made it clear this isn’t just random talk. Nick explained that wrestling has always been on his radar, especially given his background and the environment he grew up in around the industry.

“Oh my goodness, you never know. I bounced around here and there and knock the ring rust off every now and again. I’ve been attracted to it my whole life. So, I will say I’m in a pretty darn good shape right now and it’s not unfamiliar territory.”

He didn’t stop there. Nick went a step further and made it clear that if the right situation comes along, he’s not shutting the door on an in-ring career.

“So, if the time ever comes or if the opportunity ever presents itself, I would absolutely welcome that.”

This comes after his earlier comments to TMZ Sports, where he admitted the idea of wrestling has always been in the back of his mind. Combined with his recent training and the WWE Performance Center sighting, the possibility of a debut is starting to feel more realistic, even if nothing is officially confirmed yet.

For now, there’s no timeline, no contract news, and no match announcement. But between the training, the appearances, and now his own words, Nick Hogan stepping into the ring no longer feels like a stretch; it feels like something that could happen if the opportunity lines up.

Do you think Nick Hogan should step into the ring and follow Hulk Hogan’s path, or is this something WWE should stay away from? Let me know your thoughts.
