Ron DeSantis Seemingly Met With 'You Suck' Chants at Florida WWE Event
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis seemingly received a hostile reception at the WWE, with the crowd at the wrestling event booing him as he appeared at the event. Fans at WWE's Saturday Night's Main Event appeared to chant "you suck" as DeSantis waved to the crowd before the wrestling began. Newsweek could not immediately verify the veracity of videos purporting to show the incident and has contacted the governor's office via email for comment. The Context DeSantis has served as Florida's governor since 2019, winning reelection in 2022. Under the Florida state constitution, he is limited to two terms, meaning he will leave office in 2027. He launched a presidential bid in 2024, before dropping out and endorsing President Donald Trump, who had criticized DeSantis for contesting the Republican primary. What To Know Videos of DeSantis attending the Saturday event went viral after crowds appeared to shout "you suck" repeatedly at him. In one video, which received over 300,000 views, DeSantis can be seen entering ringside at the Yuengling Center in Tampa before the main event as crowds began the chant. "Governor Ron DeSantis just showed up and the crowd started booing him and chanting 'you suck,'" a social media user who attended the event said on X, formerly Twitter. "THE WWE CROWD IS BOOING Governor Ron DeSantis", a post by another account, with over 200,000 views, said on X. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis speaks during a press conference held at the ICE-Enforcement and Removal Operation office on May 1, 2025, in Miramar, Florida.

Yes we are weird like that. No DeSantis wasn't booed. "They sent me this video because it's the second time our family has seen Ron DeSantis this week." The Yuengling Center has a capacity of more than 10,000. Saturday's event saw the World Heavyweight Championship Match between Jey Uso and Logan Paul, as well as an appearance by wrestling star John Cena. The next Saturday Night's Main Event will take place at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta on July 12. What People Are Saying Before the event, Ron DeSantis posted a picture of him and wrestling star Hulk Hogan, saying on social media: "Great to see the Hulkster and throw back a cold Real American beer in Clearwater Beach." What Happens Next DeSantis will vacate the governorship in 2027, though there is no clear successor who has put themselves forward for the election yet.

WWE megastars John Cena and Hulk Hogan's less than known connection explored
Image via WWE A connection between John Cena and Hulk Hogan might have gone unnoticed by many members of the WWE Universe. WWE has seen many megastars define a generation of talent over the years. Two of those names that have carried the global juggernaut in different eras are Hulk Hogan and John Cena. The Hulkster was the crowning jewel of WWE in the late 1980s and early 1990s who led the fans with his Hulkmania movement. Years later, a kid from West New Bury named John Cena came around and made himself into the flagship star of the company. However, in light of recent events, a less than known connection has now been formed between Cena and Hogan that fans might have not noticed. How are John Cena and Hulk Hogan connected other than being WWE flagship stars of their respective eras? Hulk Hogan left WWE in the mid-1990s to join rival promotion WCW. When he returned to the company in 2002 as a member of the nWo faction, he was 48 years old and even became the WWE Champion . This was Hogan's final run in the company as a full-time performer. John Cena returned to WWE in 2025 for his farewell tour, which will end in December. Interestingly, The Cenation Leader has also made his comeback for his last run in the company at the age of 48 and is also the Undisputed WWE Champion. This has been a highly coincidental yet interesting connection between the two superstars who have led their respective generations. Moreover, the night John Cena began his farewell tour on the debut edition of RAW on Netflix was also the night Hulk Hogan returned to WWE after an extended period. Hogan was heavily booed upon his entrance by the fans in attendance. On the other hand, Cena's farewell tour has been nothing short of memorable moments. The Face that Runs the Place shocked the world by turning heel at the 2025 WWE Elimination Chamber and then went on to win his 17th World Championship from Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41. With his farewell tour having a few more months left, it will be interesting to see if this version of John Cena would confront Hulk Hogan on WWE live television.

Credit: WWE Throughout his career, Hulk Hogan was at the center of some of the biggest wrestling moments of all time. From headlining the first WrestleMania to shocking the world by turning heel with the NWO, and everything before, after and since, the 'Hulkster' has always been part of earth-shattering and controversial moments. This includes the WWE Hall of Famer showing up to WrestleMania IX with a nasty black eye and a story that many of his peers, and generations of wrestling fans, just don't buy. Advertisement The new deep-dive into the the 1993 'Showcase of the Immortals,' WrestleMania IX: Becoming a Spectacle, by far one of the best wrestling documentaries on Peacock , reexamines one of the biggest behind-the-scenes mysteries of the event, and wrestling in general. And while Hogan has a highly detailed story about how he got his infamous shiner, other wrestlers are very skeptical, to say the least. Peacock TV: from $7.99 a month/$79.99 a year Want to watch WrestleMania IX: Becoming a Spectacle (or the 1993 event it covers)? Well, sign up for Peacock TV and you can catch hundreds of hours of WWE, WCW, and ECW shows plus more. Costing as little as $7.99 a month, you can also pay more for Peacock Premium and enjoy ad-free streams and the option to download titles to watch offline Deal Credit: Peacock What Hulk Hogan Says About The Infamous Black Eye In WrestleMania IX: Becoming A Spectacle Though WrestleMania IX: Becoming A Spectacle spends a large portion of its nearly two-hour runtime breaking down how the 1993 event was a game-changer for the company and helped usher in a new era, it doesn't shy away from covering two of the biggest controversies from the pay-per-view: Hulk Hogan showing up with a black eye and the former top babyface being randomly inserted into the main event for the WWE Championship. Let's just focus on the former for now. Advertisement In the documentary, Hogan denies the long-believed story that the black eye and stitches were the result of a nasty hook from former friend-turned-rival 'Macho Man' Randy Savage. Instead, Hogan tells a story about being in a jet ski accident two days before the Las Vegas event that involved him being hit in the face by the watercraft's handlebar. If I'm being honest, his recollection of the accident has way too many details and comes off as rehearsed. And I'm not alone… Credit: Peacock Bret Hart Rips Hogan As 'Such A Liar,' And Other Wrestlers Seem To Agree Ahead of the documentary's release, Bret Hart, who never minces words when it comes to his relationship with Hulk Hogan, sat down for an interview with TMZ where he wasted no time in calling out his former colleague and ripping him for lying, saying: Hulk Hogan's always been such a liar. Whatever he tells you is probably not true. Macho Man, I'd go by his account of things. Macho Man was a much more reliable guy that spoke the truth. Advertisement And Hart, who will become the first three-time inductee at the 2025 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony ahead of the two-night WrestleMania 41 , isn't alone in not believing Hogan's story about the black eye being caused by a jet ski accident. In WrestleMania IX: Becoming a Spectacle, other wrestlers come off as being skeptical about the situation. At one point, the Undertaker says that it was well-known that Hogan and Savage didn't get along, and that the Hulkster should have 'bobbed instead of weaved on that,' alluding to a fight. Moments later, Scott Steiner explains that while he didn't see a fight between the two, he has long believed Savage's story about the rumored altercation. We may never really know what happened back in 1993, as 'Macho Man' Randy Savage passed away more than a decade ago, and Hulk Hogan is sticking to his story.
