Before the meeting with the WWE locker room, Hogan met with a number of WWE officials and "the feeling backstage is he's back on board with the company." However, another report from PWInsider does note that he has not signed any kind of contract with WWE, despite showing up backstage.
The report also said he might be at this week's TV tapings, but that's not set in stone as of right now. Hogan hasn't appeared for WWE since being fired by the company in 2015 shortly before a tape containing him making racist remarks was made public.
