Updated: 12/11/2025, 9:19:49 AM Wikipedia source

The 2025 WWE Hall of Fame was a professional wrestling event produced by WWE that featured the induction of the 26th class into the WWE Hall of Fame. The ceremony took place on April 18, 2025, in Winchester, Nevada at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas in its BleauLive Theater the night before WrestleMania 41. It aired on WWE's livestreaming platforms, two hours after the conclusion of WWE's regular Friday night program, SmackDown. The ceremony was headlined by the induction of Paul "Triple H" Levesque, which made him a two-time inductee, after being inducted in 2019 as part of D-Generation X. It also featured the inaugural "Immortal Moment" recipient, a new category allowing historical matches to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, given to Bret Hart vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin from WrestleMania 13. This made Hart the first-ever three-time inductee, having previously been inducted for his solo career in 2006 and as part of The Hart Foundation in 2019, and also made Austin a two-time inductee, after his own induction in 2009. The ceremony also had the return of the Legacy wing, which last had inductees in 2021.
