WWE Raw came to Detroit Monday night, and Hulk Hogan was on everyone's minds.
The former world-famous wrestler, whose real name was Terry Bollea, passed away last week at the age of 71 and a large part of the WWE Raw show on Monday night at Little Caesars Arena was a tribute to Hogan.
Hogan – controversy and all – was a massive part of WWE's history, including a legendary WrestleMania III fight vs Andre the Giant at the Pontiac Silverdome in 1987.
The lineup for Raw in Detroit included some big names like Roman Reigns, CM Punk and Gunther, with the main event being a fight between Bronson Reed and Jey Uso. Other notable names included Rhea Ripley and Nikki Bella who teammed up as part of an eight-woman tag team match.
Here is a recap of the WWE Raw show Monday night and the tributes to Hulk Hogan:
