Hulk Hogan Trends on Social Media During Cody Rhodes’ Emotional Segment on Raw

Cody Rhodes kicked off WWE Raw: April 4th, 2022. He arrived to the ring as The American Nightmare, and cut an extremely emotionally-heavy promo.

During the promo, he focused on his father, Late Dusty Rhodes. He showed a photograph of The American Dream on the Titantron from Madison Square Garden from 1977. Dusty Rhodes was holding the WWE Championship, which other legends such Hulk Hogan and The Undertaker got their hands on.

As soon as he name dropped Hogan, The Hulkster started trending on social media. Not only because of Rhodes mentioning Hogan, but also because of how the arena crowd reacted when he name-dropped Hogan.

It so happened that the second Cody Rhodes mentioned Hogan, the crowd booed. Several fans have reacted to the crowd’s reaction on social media. Even though most have expressed appreciation for the crowd, not everyone is happy with how the crowd reacted.

The fans were booing Hulk Hogan and cheered for everyone else.

Cody Rhodes returned to WWE to fulfil his childhood dream

During his promo, The American Nightmare revealed that he returned to WWE to fulfil a promise he made to himself as an 8-year-old.

As a young boy, he had asked his father about the championship title. His father revealed that because he secured the win via count-out, the belt wasn’t his. At this point, he promised to someday win the title and put it in Dusty Rhodes’ hand.

Now, even though he can’t physically put the title in his hand, Cody Rhodes will fulfill that promise and win the championship. He’s on WWE Raw to challenge for the WWE Championship!

YOU CAN DO IT! @CodyRhodes has a dream to make reality in honor of The American Dream Dusty Rhodes.#WWERaw pic.twitter.com/IpXDhTlYDC

If he wants to challenge the champion, right now it’s Roman Reigns. He became the WWE Champion and the WWE Universal Champion after defeating Brock Lesnar at the championship unification match at WrestleMania 38.

Do you think Cody Rhodes will challenge Roman Reigns and be the one to dethrone him?
