“He was undefeated [at SummerSlam] … just so many great moments, too many to talk about really in the career of a man who carried professional wrestling on his back for three decades,” WWE announcer Michael Cole said on the broadcast. “Rest in peace brother.”
Hogan’s “Real American” theme song played at the end of the tribute.
Nick placed his hands near his heart as fans cheered and then waved toward the crowd while fighting back tears.
He was with his wife, Tana Lea.
Nick previously appeared at WWE’s Monday Night Raw on July 28, where he watched another tribute to his father.
Hogan, whose real name was Terry Bollea, died on July 24 from a heart attack.
He was 71 years old.
Per records obtained by Page Six, Hogan had a history of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), which is a type of cancer affecting white blood cells.
It was not publicly known that he had been battling cancer.
On Aug. 1, Florida honored him by marking the date as “Hulk Hogan Day.”
“Tomorrow, Aug. 1, is officially ‘Hulk Hogan Day’ in the state of Florida,” Nick wrote on Instagram. “My dad was a true Floridian and loved his home state. Thank you for this honor @flgovrondesantis. He would be so proud of this.”
