WWE 2014-present

○ 03/29/15 – Santa Clara, CA - Levi's Stadium: During the match pitting Sting and Triple H, the nWo (Hollywood Hulk Hogan, Scott Hall & Kevin Nash) came down to the ring to thwart the interference by Degeneration-X who were interfering on Triple H's behalf. This was the most physical Hogan has been since returning to WWE last year. He not only threw punches, he dove into the ring to get the sledgehammer away from Triple H and even took bumps showing that he is back in great shape. Will we finally see him in a match?

In the climax, Orton performed an "RKO" on Reigns for a near-fall. Orton attempted a "Punt Kick" on Reigns, but Shorty G grabbed Orton's leg, after which, Ali and Ricochet took everyone else out. Reigns then performed a "Spear" on Orton to win the match for Team Hogan.
