It’s been a firm part of WrestleMania season for a while now, but the WWE has certainly been dragging its heels over the Hall of Fame Class of 2023 inductions.

Between Vince McMahon’s hokey-cokey (is he out? is he in?), post-COVID issues, Batista’s delayed induction and more, it was all a bit up in the air.

Rather than having a full afternoon to itself as in previous years, the 2023 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony will take place right after SmackDown on Friday, March 31 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angels California.

That’s the day before WrestleMania 39 day one, of course.

It wasn’t until more than a week into March that the first name was announced, while rumours are still flying around as to who could join them, including the likes of Stacy Keibler and Batista.

Here’s who’s been announced.

Rey Mysterio

Will Dom give his dad the night off to bask in glory, or will he make his presence felt to ruin the party?
