The WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2026 will feature several wrestling legends, including Stephanie McMahon, AJ Styles, and Dennis Rodman, among others. The induction ceremony will take place on Friday night at Dolby Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas, a day before WrestleMania 42 at Allegiant Stadium.
Stephanie McMahon, daughter of WWE founder Vince McMahon, is recognized for her dual roles as an on-screen authority figure and executive leader. She played a pivotal role in advancing women’s wrestling and held key positions, including co-CEO, before leaving the company in 2023. She remains married to Paul "Triple H" Levesque, WWE’s Chief Content Officer.
AJ Styles, a former world champion, is celebrated for his career in TNA (Total Nonstop Action Wrestling) and WWE. He made his WWE debut in 2016 and became a fan favorite.
Other inductees include the tag team Demolition, Sid Eudy (Sid Vicious), Bad News Brown, and Dennis Rodman, the former NBA star known for his wrestling appearances.
Vince McMahon, the former WWE chairman, is reportedly not attending the ceremony. A report from WrestleVotes of the Fightful Network confirms no indications of his presence, despite his Hall of Fame status. McMahon sold WWE to TKO Group in 2023 and has since distanced himself from the company.
The event marks a significant moment for WWE, honoring figures who shaped its legacy while navigating leadership transitions.
