Brooke Oleksy, daughter of wrestling icon Hulk Hogan, has spoken out after fans questioned why she didn’t attend WWE’s recent tributes to her late father. Hogan, 71, died of cardiac arrest at his Florida home on July 24, 2025.
WWE honored him with a 10-bell salute on Monday Night Raw and another tribute on Friday Night SmackDown. While his son Nick attended, Brooke was not present. On Instagram, she explained, “For those of you giving me crap for not attending my dad’s tributes, @wwe did not extend an invite.”

In a follow-up message, Brooke added, “Our connection was never broken. I got to know the real version of him, not just the one the world saw.” Her tribute quickly gained support from fans mourning the loss of the beloved wrestling legend.
