Status of Hulk Hogan’s Real American Freestyle Series After His Death Revealed

FOX Nation isn’t pulling back on Hulk Hogan’s final wrestling project—instead, they’re moving full steam ahead.

According to TMZ, the streaming service will proceed with its plans to debut Real American Freestyle, the pro wrestling league co-founded by the late WWE legend.

The series, which was filmed before Hogan’s sudden death, will premiere as planned on FOX Nation, the subscription-based streaming platform from FOX News. Hogan had been deeply involved in shaping the league, serving as its Commissioner and creative force behind the scenes.

FOX Nation President Lauren Petterson addressed Hogan’s passing in a statement:

“We are deeply saddened by the passing of Hulk Hogan, who single-handedly shaped the world of professional wrestling and inspired millions around the world. Our hearts go out to his family, friends, and his many fans.”

The debut event—RAF01—will stream on August 30th from the Wolstein Center in Cleveland, with a second show already locked in for later this fall. The decision to move forward with the project is seen as a tribute to Hogan’s lasting legacy in wrestling and entertainment.

Chad Bronstein, CEO and Co-Founder of Real American Freestyle, reflected on Hogan’s passion for the league and how personal the venture had become for him:

“We lost our Commissioner. We lost a friend. And the sport of wrestling lost one of its greatest champions, not just in the ring, but in spirit.”

“From day one, he threw his weight behind this league. He met with athletes. He watched tape, shared stories, and showed up like only he could. RAF was personal to him, something bigger than all of us.This league is part of his legacy, and we intend to honor it.”

With Hogan’s death still fresh in the minds of wrestling fans everywhere, Real American Freestyle now serves as one final chapter in the Hall of Famer’s storied career—and a lasting tribute to the man who helped define an entire era.
