Hulk Hogan returning to Raw, more on The Ascension

Hulk Hogan scheduled to appear on next Monday Night Raw

On last night’s episode of Raw, WWE confirmed that Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan will be returning to next week’s Monday night episode.

The show which will be based on a Christmas theme will have Hulkster over and they even promoted the show on Twitter using Hogan dressed as Santa. Hogan’s last appearance on Raw came several weeks ago before Night of Champions where he along with several other legends celebrated his birthday on the night. This was the following post from WWE:

Elsewhere, WWE aired The Ascension’s new vignette on tonight’s RAW after debuting it on last Friday’s SmackDown. It appears they are “turning up the volume” a bit on the gimmicks they’ve been using in NXT. WWE posted the following tweet to hype their main roster arrivals:

They will RISE! #TheAscension is coming... #RAW @ViktorRiseWWE @KonnorWWE pic.twitter.com/FiWYyNy6Sh
