Hulk Hogan, the iconic WWE wrestler, surprised his 2.3 million Instagram followers on Wednesday by sharing a video of himself getting baptized. The 70-year-old star, along with his new wife Sky Daily, went through a ceremonial dedication to his faith with the help of a priest.
In the video, Hogan can be seen dressed all in white, a symbol of his devotion to a life of purity and love. He wore a white t-shirt, white pants, and a white durag wrapped around his head, and had on an oversized religious cross around his neck, held in place by a thick, gold chain. The priest stood in the jacuzzi with him, guiding him through the process.
The video then cuts to Hogan’s wife, also dressed in white, undergoing the same baptismal process. In the caption, Hogan wrote, “Total surrender and dedication to Jesus is the greatest day of my life. No worries, no hate, no judgment… only love!”

This is not the first time Hogan has publicly professed his faith. In April, he posted a tweet about finding Christ and explained his religious perspective in relation to his career. “I accepted Christ as my savior at 14 years old, and the training, prayers, and vitamins kept me in the game,” he wrote. “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!”
Fans have been supportive and excited about Hogan’s public display of faith. Many have commented on the video, congratulating him and wishing him all the best on his spiritual journey.
