Alexa Bliss reflects on WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan’s legacy following his passing.
On July 24, 2025, TMZ confirmed the heartbreaking news that WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan passed away at the age of 71 due to cardiac arrest. Since then, WWE and its Superstars have continued to honor him throughout the week on the shows and social media.
Among those paying tribute, Alexa Bliss recently spoke about the immense impact Hogan had on the professional wrestling industry. Speaking to Fox News Digital, she said, “He obviously paved the way for what we do, and because of the impact that he’s had on WWE, we’re now able to do these huge shows. We’re having a two-day SummerSlam. It’s the first-time ever we’re having a two-day SummerSlam. When you talk about WWE, one of the first names people talk about is Hulk Hogan.”
Bliss also recalled a memorable interaction with Hogan during her time hosting WrestleMania 35. “I had a moment with him at WrestleMania when I was hosting. He came out, and we did a surprise entrance and did the flex thing, and it was a lot of fun. He’s made such an impact on our business it’s undeniable.”
She mentioned a fun memory where her husband, Ryan Cabrera, unknowingly recorded footage of her with Hogan at WrestleMania 35. “My husband had a video of that WrestleMania of me and Hulk Hogan at the entrance, not knowing it was me with him. He goes, ‘Oh, I have this really cool video of Hulk Hogan because I went to this WrestleMania once.’”
“I was like, ‘Yeah, that’s me.’ And he was like, ‘Wait, what? That’s not you.’ And I go, ‘Yeah, that blonde right there, posing with Hulk Hogan…’ He goes, ‘No, it’s a video of Hulk Hogan.’ And I go, ‘Right, but the person right next to him, that’s me.’ I was like, ‘You have a video of Hulk Hogan and your future wife on that video.’ I always thought that was kinda cool.”
In the end, she expressed sadness over Hogan’s death, “But obviously, yeah, it’s super sad. Condolences to his family. He was such a big personality and a big character in our world, and he paved the way for us to do what we love.”
