WWE has confirmed Hulk Hogan has been reinstated into the company's Hall of Fame after a three-year "suspension".

In a statement, WWE said: "After a three-year suspension, Hulk Hogan has been reinstated into the WWE Hall of Fame.

"This second chance follows Hogan's numerous public apologies and volunteering to work with young people, where he is helping them learn from his mistake.

"These efforts led to a recent induction into the Boys & Girls Clubs of America Alumni Hall of Fame."

Shortly after the announcement was made, Hogan posted a message on Twitter which has been interpreted by some that he was backstage at Sunday night's Extreme Rules pay-per-view event in Pittsburgh.

He wrote: "Just met with the WWE Superstars and on all levels the volume of love and support was overwhelming. I've been praying for this day and I finally feel like I made it back home. Only Love 4 the WWE Universe brother HH".
