WWE has officially announced that Hulk Hogan will no longer be appearing at Saturday Night’s Main Event in San Antonio tomorrow night. This update, first reported by Chris Featherstone, comes despite Hogan being prominently featured in the promotional materials for the event.

According to WWE sources, Hogan’s absence is due to family commitments. F4WOnline.com corroborated this, noting that his withdrawal is not related to the negative fan reactions he received during recent appearances or any rumored backstage issues involving Jesse Ventura or others.
