The WWE Universe has seen an increasing amount of Hulk Hogan in recent months, and fans were surprised to see Hogan make a surprise appearance during Wrestlemania 35. After Alexa Bliss came out to celebrate her duty as host of the big show, she introduced Hulk Hogan -- who came out to thunderous applause. Though he might have been a little nervous.

Hogan's surprise appearance was not as big of a surprise as how he credited the crowd, proclaiming that he was happy to be at the "MetLife Center" for the huge event. WrestleMania 35 takes place at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey this year, so fans were pretty taken aback by the flub.

But after paying tribute to "Mean" Gene Okerland on Monday Night Raw not too long ago, and officially inducting Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake into the Hall of Fame this weekend, the WWE Universe just may be seeing Hogan in more of a capacity in the future.
