The 2025 WWE Hall of Fame Class is officially getting the red carpet, golden ring, and teary-eyed speeches treatment — and now we know who’s doing the inducting. Spoiler alert: it’s a lineup so stacked, even the ring ropes might tear up.
This year’s class is headlined by some major icons, a legendary tag team, a literal wrestling match (yes, a match), and one real-life redemption arc named Lex Luger.
Let’s break it down:
-
Triple H, a.k.a. the CCO of WWE, a.k.a. The Guy Who Booked Your Favorite Era of NXT, is getting inducted by none other than his DX soulmate, Shawn Michaels. Expect tears, leather, and possibly a crotch chop mid-hug.
-
Michelle McCool, pioneer of the Divas-to-Women’s Revolution bridge, will be inducted by her husband, The Undertaker. That’s right — spooky love wins. If he doesn’t enter to his gong, we riot.
-
Lex Luger, the man who once bodyslammed Yokozuna on a naval ship and then bodyslammed life with an actual comeback, will be inducted by his real-life savior and yoga enthusiast Diamond Dallas Page. Somewhere, a mat is weeping in joy.
-
The Natural Disasters are getting their flowers too — Earthquake and Typhoon’s induction will reportedly be handled by a surprise guest yet to be revealed, but rumors suggest it’ll be a fellow big-man bruiser from the golden era.
-
In a first-of-its-kind move, WWE is inducting an actual match into the Hall — Bret Hart vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania 13 — as an “Immortal Moment.” And who gets to do the honors? None other than CM Punk, who’s basically been trying to will this moment into existence since 2006 via sheer mic work and Pepsi-fueled rage.
Let’s not gloss over this: CM Punk, Hall of Fame inductor. In the same year he’s main eventing WrestleMania. Against all odds and several medical clearances, the man pulled it off.
Also joining the class via the Legacy Wing are the late Ivan Koloff, Dory Funk Sr., and Kamala, giving this class a little more history, grit, and paint-covered chest slaps.
If WWE manages to squeeze all of this into one ceremony without the show running five hours and Vince showing up via satellite to say “Ruthless Aggression,” it’ll be a miracle.
