It looks like Ax and Smash are back in the WWE family, as Demolition has officially signed Legends deals with the company. That’s right, folks—one of the most dominant, face-paint-covered, road-warrior-adjacent tag teams in WWE history is finally getting the recognition they deserve.
What This Means for Demolition
Thanks to their new Legends contracts, Bill “Ax” Eadie and Barry “Smash” Darsow will now be:
✅ Featured in WWE video games 🎮
✅ Turned into new action figures 🏆
✅ Potentially FINALLY getting inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame 🏅
This is huge, considering Demolition hasn’t been seen in WWE programming since the early ‘90s. Their three WWE Tag Team Championship reigns were legendary, especially their record-setting 478-day reign, which stood for over 25 years until The New Day barely surpassed it in 2016.
Wait… Didn’t Demolition and WWE Have Beef?
Oh yeah—there was bad blood.
- Eadie and Darsow were involved in legal battles with WWE for years.
- They were also part of a CTE lawsuit that was eventually dismissed.
- Many believed this was the reason WWE kept them out of the Hall of Fame.
But now? WWE and Demolition seem to be playing nice. And if history tells us anything, when a Legends deal happens right before WrestleMania season, a Hall of Fame induction usually isn’t far behind.
Could They Be Inducted This Year?
The 2025 WWE Hall of Fame class isn’t confirmed yet, and right now, Triple H is the only announced inductee. Fans have been demanding Demolition’s induction for years, so the timing couldn’t be better.
What’s Next?
- Demolition in WWE 2K25? Very possible.
- New WWE action figures? Start saving up, collectors.
- A Hall of Fame induction this year? At this point, it’s looking likely.
After decades of being ignored, Demolition’s legacy is finally being honored—and WWE fans couldn’t be happier.
