The WWE has not issued a comment in response to the statement or media requests.

Brooke Hogan, 37, is the daughter of Terry Bollea and Linda Hogan. The couple was married from 1983 to 2009 and also shared a son, Nick, 34.

Reports indicate that Brooke and her father had limited contact in recent years. According to TMZ, their last conversation occurred in 2023, two weeks before Hogan’s marriage to his third wife, Sky Daily.

During that conversation, Brooke reportedly voiced concern over her father’s continued workload despite his declining health. “She expressed deep love and concern for her father, telling him she didn’t think he should still be working so hard,” the outlet reported.

Following his death, Brooke posted a tribute to her father in an emotional video shared Tuesday on Instagram.

“My Dearest Daddy, You were my everything, and I will always be your girl,” she said. “I am PROUD to be your daughter—for all the love, light, and goodness you brought into this world.”

She concluded the message with, “Our bond is eternal. That truth brings me comfort and hope, even in your absence. I love you more than all the stars in the sky, 4LifeAfterLife.”

Hogan, who was recovering from multiple health issues and surgeries, reportedly showed signs of declining strength in the weeks before his death.

Former WCW executive Eric Bischoff told TMZ that Hogan was “weak” and “tired” during a recent meeting. “It was just a little more effort than it should have been for him to talk at that time,” Bischoff said, noting complications from surgery that had affected Hogan’s larynx.

Bischoff and Hogan were preparing to launch the Real American Freestyle professional wrestling league before Hogan’s passing.
