Big E Appreciates Hulk Hogan For Taking Time To Apologize At WrestleMania 35
Hulk Hogan has heard out Big E.
At the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony on Friday night, New Day members Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, and Big E reportedly remained seated when Hulk Hogan made his entrance to induct Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake.
On Sunday, Big E issued a comment on social media, alluding to making some kind of peace with Hogan.
I’d like to think everyone deserves a path to redemption. I appreciate @HulkHogan taking the time to apologize & hear my position today.

Back in 2015, Hulk Hogan was fired from WWE when tapes of him using racist language leaked online. He was brought back to the company at Extreme Rules 2018 where he issued an apology to the locker room. But not everyone was forgiving. New Day put out a statement saying it’s tough to simply forget the nature of the statements made by Hogan, and that time will tell if he will make a genuine effort to change.
Hogan helped kick-off WrestleMania 35 by once again botching the name of the venue. Big E and New Day had a much better night as Kofi Kingston won the WWE Title from Daniel Bryan in one of the most emotional moments in wrestling history.
