Hulk Hogan's WWE comeback has been speculated since his Gawker lawsuit concluded last year. Having originally blacklisted Hogan, several reports over the past few months have suggested that WWE are now willing to work with the Hulkster again, with WrestleMania 33 pinpointed as a potential return date.

Hogan is currently in Orlando for a series of signing sessions at Hogan's Beach Shop on International Drive, but according to the man himself, he won't be showing up on Sunday night.

As per a report from WrestlingInc.com, Hogan spent time reminiscing on his match with Andre the Giant at WrestleMania III during the appearance, and also addressed rumours of his return. Hogan decisively shot them down, stating that he won't be at the Camping World Stadium, and will instead be signing autographs at the Beach Shop from noon to 4pm.

As usual, Hogan's words should be taken with a pinch of salt. He's not exactly going to give away a potentially huge surprise before it happens, as doing so would further compromise his position with WWE. Though the Hulkster has attempted to pour cold water on the rumours, there's still a chance he could appear.
