The organization has announced four graduates so far.
Stephanie McMahon, AJ Styles and the two tag team known as Demolition, Ax and Smash, will be among those honored.
McMahon, the granddaughter of WWE founder Vincent J. McMahon and the daughter of former chairman Vince McMahon and the wife of WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque, was announced as the inaugural member of the class of 2026. She has worked in the ring in a variety of roles from singer to manager to commissioner and was a one-point champion in her career.
Outside of the ring, McMahon briefly served as CEO and co-chairwoman alongside co-CEO Nick Khan before leaving WWE in January 2023. He is now the host of the show “What’s Your Story?” podcast and welcome fans to various premium live events.
Styles’ career in the ring with WWE seemed to be over when he lost to Gunther at the Royal Rumble. His impact on pro wrestling goes far beyond the WWE ring. He was one of the few wrestlers to make a name for himself outside of WWE when he wrestled with Total Nonstop Action (TNA). He was with the company until 2014.

He made his WWE debut at the 2016 Royal Rumble, setting himself up for fantasy matches against John Cena, Brock Lesnar, Shinsuke Nakamura, Randy Orton and others. He finished his career as a two-time WWE champion, three-time United States champion, two-time tag team champion and intercontinental champion. He was the 15th WWE Grand Slam champion.
Demolition was one of WWE’s hottest tag teams in the 1990s. Ax and Smash are the triple tag team champions and hold the record for most days combined as champions.
Tag teams have been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as teams in three of the last four tag teams. Rick and Scott Steiner were inducted in 2022, the US Express of Mike Rotunda and Barry Windham entered the Hall in 2024 and the Natural Disasters of Earthquake and Typhoon heard it last year.
Pro wrestling fans can get pre-sale access on March 9 at 1 pm ET with tickets available to everyone starting March 10 at the same time.
