WWE will continue its build to SummerSlam while honoring a pro wrestling legend on its SmackDown program. This week, SmackDown emanates from the Rocket Arena in Cleveland.
The pro wrestling world is still reeling from the loss of the legendary Hulk Hogan. The Hall of Famer passed on Thursday morning, the day before SmackDown, and plenty sent out posts honoring the WWE icon.
Per Fightful Select, WWE has a “simple” tribute planned. Fans can expect to see Hogan portrayed as "part of the WWE family."
Here’s how you can watch WWE SmackDown, including streaming options, start time, the full card, and more.
