WATCH: Icon Hulk Hogan & His Wife Getting Baptized

Hulk Hogan reached an important spiritual milestone in the final months of his life, a moment he described as the greatest he had ever experienced. In December 2023, about a year and a half before his passing, the wrestling superstar and his wife, Sky Daily, were baptized together in a heartfelt ceremony at Florida’s Indian Rocks Baptist Church.

Video footage shared widely across social media captured the powerful moment. Dressed in white and still wearing his trademark bandana, the WWE Hall of Famer submerged into the baptismal water and then emerged with a broad smile.

Hogan took to Instagram to express the deep significance of the event. “Total surrender and dedication to Jesus is the greatest day of my life,” he shared in a post. “No worries, no hate, no judgment… only love!”

A Lifelong Faith Renewed

This public declaration of faith culminated a spiritual path Hogan had walked for most of his life. He frequently spoke about his beliefs, telling followers that his religious journey started when he was a teenager. “I accepted Christ as my savior at 14yrs old, and the training, prayers and vitamins kept me in the game,” he wrote in an April 2023 post on X.

However, Hogan felt his baptism signified a pivotal new level of commitment. He explained that being “one with God” transformed him into the “Real Main Event that can slam any giant of any size through the power of my Lord and Savior.”

A Shared Spiritual Chapter

The baptism also served as a powerful symbol of unity for Hogan and his wife, Daily. The couple had married just three months prior in an intimate, faith-centered wedding in September 2023. Their joint baptism symbolized their shared values as they began a new life together.

The Indian Rocks Baptist Church celebrated their decision, writing on Instagram, “God is doing amazing things at Indian Rocks.” This renewed spiritual focus reportedly provided Hogan with immense comfort and clarity after years of public challenges, personal difficulties, and extensive health problems. His faith was a long-standing anchor; in a past interview, Hogan credited religion with helping him avoid self-destruction during a difficult divorce. “I’ve leaned on my religion,” Hogan said. “I took the high road.”

Hogan passed away at 71 from a reported cardiac arrest. For fans around the globe, the news of his death was a shock, but the story of his baptism offers a comforting look at the peace he found in his final chapter, which he powerfully summarized in his own words.

“But now that I am one with God, the main event theme of surrender, service and love makes me the Real Main Event that can slam any giant of any size through the power of my Lord and Savior and so it is, even now brother, AMEN!”
