HULK HOGAN will make his return to WWE TONIGHT after the wrestling legend was confirmed to appear on SmackDown.
The Hulkster, 66, has just been announced as part of the show with fans facing the prospect of being shocked by his dramatic transformation.
The WWE Hall of Famer will address the blue brand ahead of his expected appearance at the upcoming Super ShowDown in Saudi Arabia on February 27.
And the Immortal One, who will be inducted into this year’s HOF as part of the New World Order in April, may resemble his former self during his heyday after growing tired of being called Father Christmas.
Last week he took to social media to reveal he had shaved off his long bushy white beard and returned to just his iconic horseshoe moustache.
Tonight’s SmackDown will also feature Roman Reigns and a mystery partner vs. The Miz and John Morrison, Carmella vs. SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley, plus Valentine’s Day date footage with Otis and Mandy Rose.
Hogan, arguably the most-famous wrestler on the planet, was the driving force behind WWE’s global explosion as Hulkamania ran wild throughout the 1980s and early 90s.
The veteran was famed for his signature red and yellow attire that was complemented by his blonde hair and moustache.
But Hogan –real name Terry Bollea – last competed inside the squared-circle for TNA in 2013 and has since let his greying hair grow wildly.
And he has now revealed to fans that he has finally trimmed his bushy white beard after being mocked for looking like Father Christmas.
