The annual event will honor a mix of modern stars, legends, and historic moments as part of WrestleMania 42 weekend in Las Vegas.
Stephanie McMahon headlines this year’s class. McMahon served in several major roles in WWE, including Chief Brand Officer, Chairwoman, and Co-CEO. She also had an on-screen presence for more than two decades and is a former WWF Women’s Champion. McMahon previously admitted she was unsure if she deserved the honor when she first received the news.
AJ Styles joins the class following his retirement at the 2026 Royal Rumble, ending a 28-year career. Known as “The Phenomenal One,” Styles is a two-time WWE Champion, as well as a Triple Crown and Grand Slam Champion. His induction was personally announced by The Undertaker during the February 23 episode of WWE RAW.
The tag team Demolition will also be honored. Ax and Smash were three-time WWE Tag Team Champions and held the titles for a combined 698 days between 1988 and 1990. Their 478-day reign remains one of the longest in company history.
In the celebrity wing, Dennis Rodman will be inducted. Rodman became a major crossover figure during the Monday Night War after aligning with Hulk Hogan in WCW. His debut at Bash at the Beach 1997 marked the start of several appearances alongside the nWo.
The Legacy wing will include the late Sid Eudy, also known as Sycho Sid and Sid Vicious. A two-time WWF Champion and two-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion, he passed away in August 2024. Bad News Brown will also be inducted. Coage was an Olympic bronze medalist in judo in 1976 and later made an impact in WWE during the late 1980s, including winning the battle royal at WrestleMania IV.
This year’s Immortal Moment Award goes to Hulk Hogan vs. André the Giant from WrestleMania III. The match is remembered for the iconic bodyslam in front of a reported 93,173 fans at the Pontiac Silverdome. With this recognition, Hogan becomes a three-time Hall of Famer, while André is honored for a second time.
The ceremony will spotlight a wide range of contributions to wrestling history, from in-ring achievements to cultural impact, making it a key part of WrestleMania weekend.
