The 2025 WWE Hall of Fame Class: Who’s Being Inducted?
While WWE has kept some surprises under wraps, several names have been officially confirmed for induction. Let’s dive into this year’s incredible class:
1. Batista (Headliner)
“The Animal” Batista returns to WWE for his long-awaited Hall of Fame induction. A six-time world champion, Batista was one of the most dominant forces of the Ruthless Aggression Era. From his Evolution days to his Hollywood success (Guardians of the Galaxy, Dune), Batista’s legacy transcends wrestling.
What to Expect: An emotional speech reflecting on his journey from bodyguard to megastar. Will Triple H, Ric Flair, or even Dave Bautista’s Hollywood peers make an appearance?
2. The Great Khali (International Icon)
The 7-foot-3 Indian giant revolutionized WWE’s global expansion. Khali brought wrestling to millions in India and became one of the most recognizable figures in sports entertainment.
What to Expect: A heartfelt tribute to his impact on international markets. Could we see Jinder Mahal or other Indian stars honor him?
3. Sable (Women’s Trailblazer)
Before the Women’s Evolution, there was Sable—the original femme fatale of WWE. Her Playboy covers, fierce persona, and groundbreaking moments paved the way for today’s female Superstars.
What to Expect: A nostalgic look at the Attitude Era’s most controversial yet influential women’s star. Will Brock Lesnar (her real-life husband) be in attendance?
4. Paul Heyman (Warrior Award Recipient)
The mastermind behind ECW, Brock Lesnar’s advocate, and the current voice of The Bloodline, Paul Heyman is a creative genius. The Warrior Award honors those who exhibit “unyielding spirit,” and nobody embodies that more than Heyman.
What to Expect: A speech filled with passion, storytelling, and possibly a surprise appearance from Roman Reigns or CM Punk.
5. The World’s Greatest Tag Team (Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas)
One of the most technically gifted duos in WWE history, Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas dominated SmackDown’s tag division in the early 2000s. Their chemistry and amateur wrestling backgrounds made them a force.
