“We have had discussions with Terry Bollea (a.k.a. Hulk Hogan) about how he can help others learn from his mistakes, however, he is not under any contract with WWE,” the company said in a statement.

Despite being fired and removed from the WWE Hall of Fame, Hogan is rumored to be attending the WWE-related premiere of the documentary Andre the Giant. The event takes place in Los Angeles next Thursday. If he does attend, it would be the first time Hogan has gone at a WWE event since the scandal.
