Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan found spiritual peace in the final chapter of his life, publicly committing himself to his faith just a year and a half before his unexpected death the age of 71.

In December 2023, the WWE Hall of Famer shared a powerful moment on social media, revealing he had been baptized.

‘Total surrender and dedication to Jesus is the greatest day of my life,’ he wrote in a heartfelt post. ‘No worries, no hate, no judgment… only love!’

A video from the baptism shows Hogan being fully immersed in a pool, then emerging with a broad smile, still wearing his signature bandana.

It was a joyful and emotional scene as he shared the experience with his wife, Sky Daily, who was baptized alongside him.

‘God is doing amazing things at Indian Rocks,’ the church wrote while sharing Hogan’s baptism on Instagram, at the time.

Prior to his baptism, the six-time WWE champion previously proclaimed his Christian beliefs in public.

Earlier in 2023, Hogan tweeted about his religious journey and how he accepted Christ as a teenager.

‘I accepted Christ as my savior at 14-years-old and the training, prayers and vitamins kept me in the game but now that I am one with God, the main event theme of surrender, service and love makes me the Real Main Event that can slam any giant of any size through the power of my Lord and Savior and so it is, even now brother, AMEN!’ Hogan shared on X (Twitter) in April.

The baptism came not long after Hogan and Daily tied the knot in September 2023, as reported by People.

Their wedding was described as intimate and faith-centered, reflecting the couple’s shared values and spiritual journey.

‘God is doing amazing things at Indian Rocks,’ the church wrote while sharing Hogan’s baptism on Instagram, at the time.

In a 2009 interview with TMZ, Hogan mentioned how his faith kept him on the right path during his divorce with ex wife, Linda.

‘I’ve leaned on my religion,’ Hogan said.

‘I accepted Christ as my savior. He died on the cross and paid for my sins. I found some very good friends who told me about being positive and the power of positive thinking.

‘I could have went the wrong way. I could have self-destructed, but I took the high road.’

DailyMail.com confirmed on Thursday that the WWE icon passed away early in the morning on July 24.

911 operators dispatched paramedics to his Clearwater, Florida home.

A Clearwater Police Department spokesman said in a statement: ‘Clearwater Fire Department and Clearwater Police Department personnel responded to a medical call at 9:51 a.m. today in the 1000 block of Eldorado Avenue on Clearwater Beach.

‘The nature of the call was for a cardiac arrest. A 71-year-old resident, Terry Bollea, also known as Hulk Hogan, was treated by Clearwater Fire & Rescue crews before being taken by Sunstar to Morton Plant Hospital, where he was pronounced deceased.’

Police cars and EMTs were parked outside Hogan’s home in the immediate aftermath of the emergency, with the reality star carried onto an stretcher and into an ambulance.

The shock death comes just weeks after his wife Sky denied rumors he was on his deathbed in a coma – and claimed his heart was ‘strong’ after he underwent a routine neck surgery.

Hogan is survived by his third wife Sky Daily, who he wed in 2023, children Brooke, 37, and Nick, 34, who he shared with first wife Linda Claridge, and two grandchildren.

Hulk Hogan’s representative, Linda Bose, confirmed his death to CBS NEWS, saying: ‘Unfortunately we must confirm that Terry Bollea, aka Hulk Hogan passed away this morning.

‘We are heartbroken. He was such a great human being and friend.’

The Clearwater Police Department confirmed Hogan was ;experiencing a serious medical related issue’ at died at 11.17am. There are no signs of foul play or suspicious activity and an investigation into the death is underway.

His representative said in a statement last month: ‘He’s had problems with his back for years but there’s no emergency.’

Hogan had previously opened up about undergoing ’25 surgeries in the past decade.’

While appearing on Jake Paul’s IMPAULSIVE podcast last year, he said: ‘Ten of them were back surgeries. I’ve had both knees and hips replaced, shoulders — everything.’
