WWE paid tribute to Hulk Hogan on this week’s episode of “SmackDown.” Hogan, who passed away at age 71 on Thursday, was honored during the broadcast with an opening segment featuring a large number of WWE stars and personnel standing at the top of the “SmackDown” entrance ramp.

Last Friday, John Cena attempted to wiggle his way out of defending the undisputed WWE championship against Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam. Rhodes attacked Cena, literally forcing the champion's hand to sign the contract for a street fight at the biggest event of the summer.

The Wyatt Sicks were in action against Andrade and Rey Fenix, Alexa Bliss took on Roxanne Perez, and both Jelly Roll and Logan Paul helped hype their upcoming tag match with Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre as their respective partners. WWE also took some time to pay tribute to the late Hulk Hogan following his death on Thursday.
