TMZ reports that Hogan and WWE officials have had talks. The royal family in Saudi Arabia wanted Hogan to be part of the Greatest Royal Rumble event. While Hogan did not make the trip, the two sides are said to be talking.

Hogan was fired in July, 2015 when racist comments he made while secretly being filmed went public. Hogan delivered an induction speech at the Boys &amp; Girls Club Alumni Hall of Fame on Wednesday. The TMZ story notes that WWE officials were paying close attention to how Hogan was received. The appearance went well so we&#8217;ll see what happens next.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: solid 1px #dedede;\" src=\"https:\/\/app.stitcher.com\/splayer\/f\/180116\/54327079\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div id=\"prowr-1687426278\" class=\"prowr-after-content prowr-entity-placement\"><a class=\"spreaker-player\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/show\/pwboom\" data-resource=\"show_id=3275525\" data-theme=\"light\" data-playlist=\"show\" data-width=\"100%\" data-height=\"340px\">Listen to \"Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast\" on Spreaker.<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jason Powell, Prowrestling.net Editor&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":3967,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,4],"tags":[216,101],"class_list":["post-39671","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsticker","category-wwe_news","tag-hulk-hogan","tag-wwe"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
