The WWE Hall of Fame is an annual event that happens during WrestleMania weekend. This is the event that the legends of WWE who have paved the way are celebrated. The one complaint is that WWE should hold the event on a separate day and not on Friday following SmackDown. 2026 has only one Inductee that has been confirmed so far.
Let’s look at the Predicted Inductees in the WWE Hall of Fame 2026
Confirmed Inductee
Stephanie McMahon
The only Inductee that has been confirmed is Stephanie McMahon. She was announced as a WWE Hall of Famer at WrestlePalooza 2025. The Undertaker announced her as the first Inductee. The WWE fans shd the women in the locker room were very happy for her. She has worked for 20 years in the WWE to be in this place.
Predicted Inductees
John Cena
John Cena retired in 2025 and there cannot be a better time for him to headline the class of 2026. The fans want him to be inducted in the WWE Hall of Fame and not have to wait years. Stephanie McMahon and John Cena getting inducted in the same year will be a full circle moment as it was Stephanie McMahon who saved the career of John Cena in WWE. John Cena is the greatest of all time and he will have a lot to say at the WWE Hall of Fame. John Cena could give a speech like The Undertaker which could go over an hour.
Ken Shamrock
Ken Shamrock has once again become a part of the WWE Family. He was a part of the UFC before heading to WWE in the Attitude Era. He was a successful WWE superstar and he was also a referee for WWE. Before Brock Lesnar there was Ken Shamrock who paved the way. It has been long overdue and Ken Shamrock was out of the WWE umbrella because of a falling out for decades. Ken Shamrock will be the first UFC to WWE Hall of Famer.
Mickie James
The second woman to be inducted in the WWE Hall of Fame 2026 should be Mickie James. She also has returned to the WWE fold after a huge controversy surrounding her respect a few years ago. She has been a six time Women’s Champion in WWE and she has more than earned her spot in the WWE Hall of Fame. Mickie James still wrestles on a semi regular basis. She is the last woman in the Trish Stratus era who has not yet been inducted. Mickie James could return to WWE and have a last run before retirement.
The Hardy Boyz
Every year in the WWE Hall of Fame there is a legendary tag team that is inducted in the WWE Hall of Fame. This year it could very well be The Hardy Boyz. The Dudley Boys have been inducted in the WWE Hall of Fame and The Hardy Boyz are one of the greatest tag teams of all time. They have redefined tag team wrestling and especially ladder and TLC Matches. They are still active in TNA but a WWE Hall of Fame induction will be a huge honour.
The Immortal Moment – The Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 25
Since last year, WWE has started a new tradition for the WWE Hall of Fame. It is inducting legendary Matches that have taken place at WrestleMania events previously in the WWE Hall of Fame. Last year it was the all time classic Bret Hart vs Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania 13. This year it could be the absolutely incredible match at WrestleMania 25 between The Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels. That is as close to a perfect wrestling match as there could ever be. Both the wrestlers are part of the WWE family so it would be a beautiful moment.
