CM Punk Royal Rumble: WWE Star Vows to Eliminate Hulk Hogan

CM Punk Royal Rumble WWE Hulk Hogan Comments

CM Punk has set his sights on the upcoming Royal Rumble, making a bold statement about eliminating WWE legend Hulk Hogan.

CM Punk’s comments about Hulk Hogan during a WWE Raw promo were more of a provocative jab than a serious challenge. While Punk dramatically declared he would “throw [Hogan’s] dusty ass over the top rope and kill Hulkamania once and for all,” the statement was likely meant to capitalize on Hogan’s recent unpopular appearance.

Hogan’s Current Physical Condition

Hogan, now 70 years old, has indeed undergone significant physical challenges. He has revealed he’s had approximately 25-26 surgeries, including:

  • 10 back surgeries
  • Knee replacements
  • Hip replacements
  • Shoulder surgeries
  • Facial surgeries

Context of the Promo

The comments came during Punk’s Royal Rumble promo, where he was listing potential opponents. Hogan was heavily booed during his last WWE Raw appearance on January 6, and Punk’s remarks seemed to play into that existing sentiment

Bronson Reed even responded to Punk’s comments on social media, jokingly claiming “Hogan is mine”, further highlighting the theatrical nature of the interaction.

While Punk’s statement was dramatic, it’s highly unlikely Hogan would actually compete in the Royal Rumble, given his age and physical condition.
