One of the most anticipated events of the entire WrestleMania weekend is the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony.
This year’s WWE Hall of Fame class has already taken shape with Stephanie McMahon, AJ Styles, Demolition and Dennis Rodman all announced for the ceremony.
With just four weeks left ahead of the show, the Hall of Fame could add some other legends as inductees for the class of 2026.
Here are eight final potential WWE Hall of Fame 2026 inductees.
8. Victoria
During the 2000s, Victoria was one of the most consistent and reliable female stars of this period.
Over a nine-year run with the promotion, Victoria was a former three-time WWE Women’s Champion and part of several different feuds.
Against the likes of Trish Stratus and Molly Holly, Victoria made her mark and became one of the signature women’s stars of this time.
Considering she signed a WWE Legends deal in 2024, it would make sense for Victoria to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2026 in Las Vegas this April.
7. Mickie James
Another female star who made a name for herself during the 2000s and 2010s in WWE was Mickie James.
Introduced in a memorable storyline with Trish Stratus, James was known for her impressive character work and was always a dependable in-ring performer.
James was a former six-time WWE Women’s Champion, putting on quality matches against the likes of Stratus, Lita and Beth Phoenix.
After her brief return for the LFG show in 2025, it feels like the right time for the company to call upon Mickie James for a WWE Hall of Fame 2026 induction this year.

6. Kelly Kelly
Another 2000s female star in WWE that played a significant role in the company was Kelly Kelly.
Widely regarded as one of the faces of the WWE Divas era, Kelly was seen on posters and promotional material throughout her six-year stint with the company.
During her time with WWE, Kelly was a former Divas Champion and even returned to win the 24/7 Championship in 2019.
Following her signing of a WWE Legends deal in 2025, Kelly could be the latest female talent who feels deserving of a Hall of Fame induction.
5. Umaga
Making his WWE debut in 2006, Umaga did not take long before he solidified himself as one of the most feared big men in the company.
In notable rivalries against John Cena, Triple H and Jeff Hardy, “The Samoan Bulldozer” established himself as someone who could be featured in major matches over the course of his three-year run.
Umaga tragically passed away in December 2009 at the age of 36 due to a heart attack.
While he has been gone for the past 17 years, Umaga feels like someone who has contributed enough to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame 2026.

4. Ken Shamrock
Making his WWE debut in 1997, Ken Shamrock made a seamless transition from the MMA world to professional wrestling.
Shamrock is a former UFC Superfight Champion and was one of the inaugural inductees into the UFC Hall of Fame.
Throughout his time in WWE, Shamrock was a King of the Ring winner, a former Intercontinental and Tag Team Champion as well.
With everything he has accomplished during his time in WWE and the company’s connection to UFC within TKO, Shamrock would be a wonderful addition to the Hall of Fame class of 2026 this April.
3. Kurt Angle vs. Shawn Michaels (WrestleMania 21)
In 2025, WWE started inducting matches into the Hall of Fame, starting with Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Bret Hart from WrestleMania 13 as an “Immortal Moment.”
This year, the company could choose another classic bout to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
One of the best matches in the company’s history was Kurt Angle vs. Shawn Michaels from WrestleMania 21 in 2005.
Michaels vs. Angle from Mania 21 would be another great “Immortal Moment” that feels deserving of the honor of being celebrated in the WWE Hall of Fame 2026.

2. Bray Wyatt
With his creative mind and signature characters, Bray Wyatt has become one of the greatest stars of the modern era of WWE.
Over the course of a 14-year run with the company, Wyatt was a former three-time WWE World Champion and two-time Tag Team Champion.
From his time as the leader of The Wyatt Family to his memorable Fiend character, Wyatt has become known for his exceptional feuds against the likes of John Cena, The Undertaker and Roman Reigns.
Considering he passed away in 2023, Wyatt could be honored as a posthumous inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame 2026 with his brother Uncle Howdy inducting him in.
1. John Cena
Back at the December 13 edition of WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, GUNTHER defeated John Cena in the final match of his career.
Ending his legendary career after nearly 25 years, Cena has become one of the biggest names in the history of the pro wrestling business.
Over his entire run in the company, Cena was a record-breaking 17-time WWE World Champion, two-time Royal Rumble winner, former Mr. Money In The Bank and a former intercontinental Champion.
With everything he has contributed to the wrestling business inside and outside of the squared circle, Cena would be the perfect headliner for this year’s WWE Hall of Fame class of 2026 during WrestleMania 42 weekend.
