A wrestling legend and WWE’s current Chief Content Officer, Triple H is receiving his second Hall of Fame induction, this time as an individual. He was previously inducted in 2019 as part of D-Generation X.

With a career spanning over four decades, Triple H has cemented himself as one of the greatest to ever step foot in the ring.

Career Highlights: 4x2r5m

• 14-time World Champion
• Two-time Royal Rumble Winner (2002, 2016)
• Second WWE Grand Slam Champion

While there were many viable options to induct Triple H, including his wife, Stephanie McMahon, or perhaps one of his greatest rivals, such as The Rock, Batista, or Randy Orton. Cody Rhodes would have also made a lot of sense.

However, there was only ever one true option: Shawn Michaels.

Triple H and Michaels have a storied history together in WWE from their time leading D-Generation X.

It’s widely known that the two are best friends, and given how far both have come, it will be a full circle moment for Triple H, who inducted Michaels into the Hall of Fame in 2011.

It won’t come as any surprise that Michelle McCool will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame by her husband, The Undertaker.

Some fans have expressed the belief that someone who worked with McCool during the Divas era should’ve inducted her instead, namely Layla.

Diamond Dallas Page will induct Lex Luger into the WWE Hall of Fame. DDP played a huge role in the rehabilitation of Luger’s injury, helping improve his mobility through his yoga program.

Luger was keen for WCW icon Sting to induct him, but that proved to be complicated due to the latter’s AEW ties.

Why Was Bret Hart vs Steve Austin Inducted? 5c6572

The Submission Match between Bret “The Hitman” Hart and Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania 13 is widely regarded as one of the greatest matches of all time.

The match took place during a pivotal turning point in WWE history, fuelling Austin’s rise as the company’s biggest star during the late 90s, and was essentially the birth of the Attitude Era.

It’s mostly ed for its iconic double turn, where Austin, the defiant antihero, refused to tap out despite being trapped in Hart’s Sharpshooter.

His blood-soaked face and refusal to quit made him a fan favourite overnight, while Hart transitioned into a villain.

The inclusion of MMA legend Ken Shamrock as special guest referee also added an extra layer of realism to the bout.

Both Bret Hart and Stone Cold Steve Austin will be in attendance at the Hall of Fame ceremony during WrestleMania 41 weekend to accept the award.

WWE Hall of Fame Legacy Wing 151m8

The 2025 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony will also see the long-awaited return of the Legacy Wing, with three trailblazing names etched into history: Kamala, Dory Funk Sr, and Ivan Koloff.

Each left a lasting impression on professional wrestling, and their posthumous recognition marks a renewed commitment by WWE to honour those who shaped the industry beyond titles and television time.

Kamala, “The Ugandan Giant”, captivated audiences with his fearsome persona and unforgettable feuds with Hulk Hogan, The Undertaker, and Jake “The Snake” Roberts. Despite never claiming a WWE title, his legacy lives on through iconic moments, including the first televised casket match at Survivor Series 1992.

Dory Funk Sr, patriarch of one of wrestling’s most storied families, was a celebrated promoter and mentor. Through his Western States Sports territory, he helped develop a generation of legends like Harley Race, Bruiser Brody, and Tully Blanchard—cementing his role as a foundational figure in wrestling’s golden age.

Ivan Koloff, “The Russian Bear”, shocked the world in 1971 by ending Bruno Sammartino’s nearly eight-year WWE title reign—an achievement that alone ensured his place in wrestling lore. A multiple-time NWA champion, Koloff later feuded with icons such as Dusty Rhodes, building a legacy that spanned decades and borders.

Their inductions reflect Triple H’s ongoing effort to reconcile with overlooked or estranged legends, making the Class of 2025 one of the most historically significant in recent memory.
