WWE legend Hulk Hogan is set to speak at the Republican National Convention on Thursday night before former President Donald Trump accepts the GOP nomination for president, according to NBC News.

Hogan, 70, recently hinted on “Fox & Friends” that he might enter politics, stating, “We need somebody in there that’s got some common sense.”

Trump’s formal acceptance will cap off the final day of the convention, just days after announcing Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, 39, as his running mate. Vance was officially nominated as VP on Monday and is expected to address the crowd with personal anecdotes and a pledge to fight for working Americans.

Vance’s speech will likely echo themes from his best-selling book “Hillbilly Elegy,” and he will highlight Trump’s resilience, referencing Trump’s quick return to the campaign trail after surviving an assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally. The gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed by Secret Service agents after the attack, which left Trump with a grazed ear and resulted in the death of rally-goer Corey Comperatore. Authorities have not disclosed a motive for the shooting.
