He was super proud. He has been a great friend to me, mentor, business partner. And because of that, his voice will be very present, this league will devise unique ways to make him part of it.

Months before his passing, Hogan shared his enthusiasm regarding RAF, the new company he co-founded with Chad Bronstein. Bronstein, also CEO of RAF, highlighted Hogan’s continued influence on the company. RAF and WWE maintain a cordial relationship. Real American Beer, RAF’s main sponsor, is 10% owned by WWE and was also co-founded by Bronstein.

We don’t compete with them. They provide us with a lot of support. There is no competition because they are two totally different groups. The same goes for the UFC, we are not competition.
Chad Bronstein, CEO of RAF

American Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle, one of WWE’s most prominent stars in the early 2000s, will participate as a commentator. Bronstein revealed that it was Hogan who suggested Angle’s participation. In addition, former WWE manager Jimmy Hart and former world champion John Layfield will also be present at Saturday’s event.
