WrestleMania season is upon us which means we’ll be getting WWE Hall of Fame announcements sooner than later. Last year’s Hall of Fame class included some big names such as Triple H, Lex Luger and Michelle McCool and everyone is wondering who will be part of the 2026 class.
Much of WWE programming in 2025 was focused on John Cena’s retirement tour which wrapped up in December when he was defeated by Gunther at Saturday Night’s Main Event. With Cena finally retiring from in-ring competition for good there’s been a lot of speculation that WWE could be inducting him into the Hall of Fame this year.
WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select is reporting that despite speculation regarding a possible Hall of Fame induction for John Cena this year the former WWE Champion is not expected to be part of the 2026 class.
Most people in WWE expect Stephanie McMahon to be the headliner for the 2026 Hall of Fame class, and it was noted that an “immortal moments” induction is also expected for this year’s ceremony.
As of this writing Stephanie McMahon is the only name that has been confirmed for this year’s WWE Hall of Fame class. The ceremony is expected to take place during WrestleMania week in April, but an exact date has not been announced just yet.
