Hogan has also been named the official host for WrestleMania 30, WWE's annual extravaganza, taking place on April 6 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.
“We are thrilled that Hulk Hogan has returned home to WWE,” says WWE Chairman Vince McMahon.
“It’s fitting to have him help us celebrate 30 years of WrestleMania and usher in a new era with the launch of WWE Network,” added McMahon.
Hogan first became WWE Champion back in 1984, when he defeated The Iron Shiek in Madison Square Garden.
He headlined the first ever WrestleMania back in 1985, teaming up with Mr. T to face off against Rowdy Roddy Piper and Paul Orndorff.
The last time Hogan was seen in WWE was back in 2007 for Raw's 15th Anniversary special.
“Words cannot express how excited I am to be back in the WWE family,” Hogan told WWE.
“I only have one question for the WWE Universe," Hogan added. "Whatcha gonna do when Hulkamania runs wild as the host of WrestleMania 30?”
