WrestleMania season is upon us, and in recent weeks WWE has been revealing the inductees for the 2021 Hall of Fame class. Molly Holly was the first name confirmed for the 2021 class, and a few days ago Eric Bischoff was announced as well.
It’s safe to say that WWE has some more surprises in store in the weeks to come, and it’s interesting to note that some fans noticed that under the “This Is Daniel Bryan” category on WWE Network Bryan was listed as a “2021 WWE Hall of Fame Inductee.” The “2021 Hall of Fame Inductee” listing has since been removed, but a screenshot can be seen below.

It’s possible that this was just an error, but if Bryan is going into the Hall of Fame this year then it wouldn’t be the first time that WWE has accidentally spoiled a big announcement.
Although Bryan is still quite active in the ring he did indicate during an interview with BT Sport back in December that his days as a full time wrestler are coming to an end.
“So, I’m confident in my body and longevity, but it’s also like now, my life I’ve got different priorities as far as like I still love wrestling and I feel like I’ll always wrestle as long as I can physically do it. But do I want to continue to wrestle full-time when you’ve got two babies at home? So now I am switching priorities in my life where for years wrestling has been the key focus. Like my contract is coming up soon, and we’re looking at me transitioning to maybe less than a full-time wrestler. My time being a full-time wrestler are numbered. I’m going to be more like a full-time dad, part-time wrestler. Wrestling is my side job, daddy is my most important job.”
The WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony is set to air on Tuesday, April 6 and it will feature inductees from the 2021 and 2020 class. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
