Hulk Hogan To Speak On Republican National Convention’s Final Night

Donald Trump‘s acceptance speech will be the highlight of the final night of the Republican National Convention, but the other speaker lineup will have the feel of a cage match.

Hulk Hogan has been added to the lineup. The entertainer and wrestler sued Gawker for invasion of privacy over the publication of an excerpt of a sex tape. Hogan won and the case was eventually settled, but the case put Gawker out of business. As it turned out, venture capitalist Peter Thiel financed Hogan’s lawsuit. Thiel also helped bankroll vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance’s 2022 U.S. Senate campaign, donating $15 million to a super PAC supporting his candidacy.

Other speakers to be featured tonight include Dana White, CEO of Ultimate Fighting Championship and Linda McMahon, former CEO of WWE and Small Business Administration administrator during Trump’s presidency.

Other speakers will include Tucker Carlson, Trump attorney Alina Habba, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Franklin Graham. Scheduled to perform after Trump’s speech is opera singer Christopher Macchio.

NBC News first reported on Hogan’s addition to the lineup.
