Heading into WrestleMania 42, one of the most anticipated events of the weekend will be the 2026 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony.
While Stephanie McMahon, AJ Styles, Demolition and Dennis Rodman have all been announced for inductions, the WWE Hall of Fame could still bring other stars into this year’s class.
Considering Sid Eudy (aka Sid Justice / Psycho Sid) and Bad News Brown were recently announced as the first inductees for the legacy wing, there could be other late legends who might join them as legacy wing inductees.
Here are eight more potential WWE Hall of Fame 2026 legacy inductees.
8. Bam Bam Bigelow
Dating back to his first run with the company in the 1980s, Bam Bam Bigelow was a revolutionizing big man in the pro wrestling world.
Bigelow displayed amazing agility and athleticism for a star weighing nearly 400 pounds with his signature moonsault.
Adorned in the flames covering his bald head, Bigelow is someone who is a former WWE Tag Team Champion and has even headlined a WrestleMania alongside NFL legend Lawrence Taylor.
It is shocking for fans to learn that Bigelow has never been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame and should join the elite company in the legacy wing this year.
7. Brian Pillman
There might not be anyone who has the unique legacy and reputation that Brian Pillman has.
First putting his name on the map as a light heavyweight star, Pillman was showcased as a rising star during his time in WCW.
Then making the transition to WWE, Pillman introduced fans to his “Loose Cannon” persona that started in WCW at the tailend of his run and famously joined forces with The Hart Foundation.
Considering all of his contributions to the pro wrestling world, Pillman is someone who feels more than deserving of a Hall of Fame induction and could have his son do the honors for him.

6. Adrian Adonis
In the 1980s, Adrian Adonis became one of the most prominent heels on the WWE roster at the time.
Introducing fans to his “Adorable” character, Adonis formed memorable pairings with Bobby “The Brian” Heenan and Jimmy Hart by his side.
Whether it be his signature golden locks or love of the color pink, Adonis was one of the more noteworthy stars of this time period in WWE.
Passing away at just 34 years old, Adonis is someone who should have been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame for everything he gave to the pro wrestling business.
5. Sabu
In 2025, fans got to watch the final in-ring match of Sabu against Joey Janela at the GCW Spring Break 9 event during WrestleMania 41 weekend.
Then just a few months later, Sabu, real name Terry Brunk, passed away at the age of 61 years old.
The former ECW World Heavyweight Champion is someone who influenced an entire generation of wrestlers and fans with his wild antics and intense deathmatches that spanned his 40-year career.
While he only briefly was part of the WWE roster, Sabu feels like someone who has given so much of his body, mind and soul to pro wrestling, making him a worthy inductee into the legacy wing of the Hall of Fame in Las Vegas.

4. Miss Elizabeth
It might be surprising to many fans that “The First Lady of Pro Wrestling” Miss Elizabeth has never been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
One of the first females to make an impact on WWE during the 1980s, Elizabeth was never an in-ring competitor, but might be one of the greatest managers with her work with her ex-husband Macho Man Randy Savage.
Elizabeth’s career went from WWE to WCW where she went on to manage the likes of The NWO, Ric Flair and Lex Luger.
Considering her legacy in the industry and inspiring a whole generation of female stars that are in WWE today, Miss Elizabeth is someone who has more than earned a spot in the WWE Hall of Fame 2026.
3. Umaga
During the 2000s, the monster heel role had become something that was regularly only utilized for the likes of Kane or Big Show.
When Umaga made his debut, he turned a lot of heads with his mixture of unbridled savagery and shocking agility.
With a level of intensity that hadn’t been seen since his uncles in The Wild Samoans, Umaga made an impact as a formidable rival for top stars like John Cena, Triple H and Jeff Hardy.
Taking into account his influence on inspiring his nephews The Usos to get into the pro wrestling business, it feels like the company has more than enough to induct Umaga into the legacy wing of the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2026.

2. Chyna
Back in 2019, D-Generation X were the headline act at the WWE Hall of Fame in Brooklyn, New York.
This night was special because it also included the late Chyna going into the hallowed halls alongside the likes of Triple H, X-Pac and The New Age Outlaws.
However, Chyna’s contributions far exceeded her time in DX and spanned several other years where she achieved new heights that other women were not able to accomplish then or even to this day.
After a decade since her passing, it feels like the right time to induct Chyna into the WWE Hall of Fame 2026 in Las Vegas.
1. Bray Wyatt
In 2023, the pro wrestling world was shocked to learn of the passing of Bray Wyatt at the young age of 36.
Wyatt is someone who has become one of the most iconic stars of the modern era of WWE with his creativity and innovation as a character and talker.
With his underrated in-ring ability, Wyatt had a successful combination of skills that made him a former multi-time WWE World Champion.
Considering how much he gave the fans during his nearly 13 year run with the company and the fact his brother Uncle Howdy is working there as the leader of The Wyatt Sicks, it only feels right for Bray Wyatt to be a legacy wing inductee in the WWE Hall of Fame 2026.
