The boos were likely due to Hogan’s political support for Donald Trump, whom he endorsed at the 2024 Republican National Convention. Los Angeles, with its predominantly liberal audience, may have reacted negatively to his presence. Social media users also linked the crowd’s reaction to his political stance, although neither Hogan nor WWE have commented on the incident.

Hogan’s boos could also be related to his controversial past. In 2015, WWE removed him from the Hall of Fame after racist comments surfaced. Although he was reinstated in 2018, some fans remain critical of his presence, which likely fueled the audience reaction.

There were some important developments on WWE Monday Night Raw on Netflix.
