The WWE Hall of Fame is a hall of fame which honors professional wrestlers and professional wrestling personalities maintained by WWE. Originally known as the "WWF Hall of Fame", it was created in 1993 when André the Giant was posthumously inducted with a video package as the sole inductee that year. The 1994 and 1995 ceremonies were held in conjunction with the annual King of the Ring pay-per-view events and the 1996 ceremony was held with the Survivor Series event. Since 2004, the promotion has held the ceremonies in conjunction with WrestleMania ever since. Since 2005, portions of the induction ceremonies have aired on television and since 2014, the entire ceremonies have aired on the WWE's livestreaming platforms.

As of 2025, there have been 248 inductees, with 134 wrestlers inducted individually, 49 Legacy inductees, 20 group inductions (consisting of 54 wrestlers within those groups), 14 celebrities, 9 Warrior Award recipients, and 1 Immortal Moment recipient (a category introduced in 2025 to honor historical matches). Eight wrestlers have been inducted twice in two categories: Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, Booker T, Hulk Hogan, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, and Triple H; while two two-time inductees were inducted twice as a member of a group: Sean Waltman (D-Generation X and The New World Order) and Barry Windham (The Four Horsemen and The U.S. Express); while Bret "The Hitman" Hart is the only wrestler to be inducted three separate times in three separate categories. Sixty-eight members have been inducted posthumously.

History

The World Wrestling Federation (WWF) established the WWF Hall of Fame in 1993. It was first announced on the March 22, 1993, episode of Monday Night Raw where André the Giant, who had died nearly two months prior, was announced as the sole inductee.{{Cite web |url=http://www.thehistoryofwwe.com/93.htm |title=1993 WWF results, from TheHistoryOfWWE.com |access-date=March 21, 2014 |archive-date=November 21, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201121235607/http://www.thehistoryofwwe.com/93.htm |url-status=live }}{{cite episode|title=WWF Monday Night Raw (March 22, 1993)|series=WWF Monday Night Raw|series-link=WWE Raw|credits=World Wrestling Federation employees|network= USA Network|airdate=March 22, 1993|season=1}}{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/superstars/andrethegiant/|title=Andre the Giant|publisher=World Wrestling Entertainment|access-date=February 15, 2009|archive-date=November 7, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201107192811/https://www.wwe.com/superstars/andrethegiant|url-status=live}} In the proceeding two years, induction ceremonies were held in conjunction with the annual King of the Ring pay-per-view events. The 1996 ceremony was held with the Survivor Series event, for the first time in front of a paying audience as well as the wrestlers, after which, the Hall of Fame went on hiatus.{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/superstars/halloffame/|title=WWE Hall of Fame|publisher=World Wrestling Entertainment|access-date=April 24, 2007|archive-date=November 18, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151118192047/http://www.wwe.com/superstars/halloffame|url-status=live}}

After an eight-year hiatus the promotion — renamed World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) in 2002 — scheduled the 2004 ceremony to coincide with WrestleMania,{{cite web|url=http://corporate.wwe.com/news/2004/wwe-corporate-pete-rose-to-be-inducted-into-wwe-hall-of-fame|title=Pete Rose to Be Inducted Into Hall Of Fame.World Wrestling Entertainment Hall Of Fame|date=March 2, 2004|publisher=World Wrestling Entertainment Corporate|access-date=February 15, 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402151205/http://corporate.wwe.com/news/2004/wwe-corporate-pete-rose-to-be-inducted-into-wwe-hall-of-fame|archive-date=April 2, 2015}} establishing the traditional date for all following ceremonies.

Although a building has never been built to represent the Hall of Fame, WWE has looked into constructing a facility. In 2008, Shane McMahon, then-Executive Vice President of Global Media of WWE, stated that WWE had been storing wrestling memorabilia in a warehouse for years, with all items categorized and dated in case a facility is created.{{cite web|last=Scherer|first=Dave|title=SmackDown Rating, WWE Looking For A Location to Create A Hall of Fame, The Bash, and more|url=http://www.pwinsider.com/ViewArticle.php?id=30289&p=1|date=April 8, 2008|access-date=March 20, 2015|publisher=PWInsider|archive-date=October 21, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201021052440/https://www.pwinsider.com/ViewArticle.php?id=30289&p=1|url-status=live}} Ric Flair stated in 2020 that WWE was in the process of creating a building for the Hall of Fame and that it would be in Florida in the Orlando area,{{Cite web|last=Andrew Ravens|date=December 16, 2020|title=WWE Is Building Physical Hall Of Fame Location|url=https://www.ewrestlingnews.com/news/wwe-is-building-physical-hall-of-fame-location|access-date=March 15, 2021|website=eWrestlingNews.com|language=en-US|archive-date=February 18, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210218120248/https://www.ewrestlingnews.com/news/wwe-is-building-physical-hall-of-fame-location|url-status=live}} but plans had been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.{{Cite web|date=December 16, 2020|title=Big Update on a Physical WWE Hall of Fame Building|url=https://wrestlingheadlines.com/big-update-on-a-physical-wwe-hall-of-fame-building/|access-date=February 13, 2021|website=Wrestling Headlines|language=en-US|archive-date=February 1, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210201103600/https://wrestlingheadlines.com/big-update-on-a-physical-wwe-hall-of-fame-building/|url-status=live |last1=Middleton |first1=Marc }} The current WWE president has expressed interest about creating a hall of fame building in 2021.{{Cite web |date=May 27, 2021 |title=WWE President 'excited' about a potential physical museum, he tells shareholders - Slam Wrestling |url=https://slamwrestling.net/index.php/2021/05/27/wwe-president-excited-about-a-potential-physical-museum-he-tells-shareholders/ |access-date=May 10, 2024 |language=en-US}}

The award was created following the Ultimate Warrior's death. During his April 2014 Hall of Fame speech shortly before his death, he proposed that there be a special category called the "Jimmy Miranda Award" for WWE's behind-the-scenes employees.{{cite web|last1=Powell|first1=Jason|title=2014 WWE Hall of Fame live coverage: Ultimate Warrior, Jake Roberts, Lita, Razor Ramon, Paul Bearer, and Carlos Colon|url=http://prowrestling.net/article.php?36479|website=prowrestling.net|access-date=April 4, 2015|archive-date=November 15, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201115063010/https://prowrestling.net/article.php?36479|url-status=live}}{{cite web|title=Warrior had cardiovascular disease|date=April 14, 2014 |url=https://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/10782037/ultimate-warrior-died-cardiovascular-disease|agency=Associated Press|access-date=April 4, 2015|archive-date=March 4, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304023941/http://espn.go.com/espn/story/_/id/10782037/ultimate-warrior-died-cardiovascular-disease|url-status=live}} Miranda, who died in 2002, was part of the WWE merchandise department for more than 20 years.{{cite web|last1=Martin|first1=Adam|title=WWE Raw Results (July 15, 2002)|url=http://www.wrestleview.com/results/raw/82.shtml|website=wrestleview.com|access-date=April 4, 2015|archive-date=October 20, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201020032559/http://www.wrestleview.com/results/raw/82.shtml|url-status=live}} Former WWE ring announcer Justin Roberts expressed disappointment at how WWE used portions of Warrior's Hall of Fame speech to promote the award but left out Warrior's intentions of honoring WWE's off-screen employees.{{cite web|title=[Updated with WWE statement] former WWE ring announcer Justin Roberts blogs on Connor induction to WWE Hall of Fame, WWE's usage of Conner|url=http://www.pwinsider.com/ViewArticle.php?id=92820|website=pwinsider.com|access-date=April 4, 2015|last1=Johnson|first1=Mike|archive-date=November 24, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201124173003/https://www.pwinsider.com/ViewArticle.php?id=92820|url-status=live}}{{cite web|title=Former ring announcer Justin Roberts questions sincerity of WWE's relationship with Connor the Crusher|url=http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/WWE_News_3/article_84260.shtml|website=PWTorch.com|access-date=April 9, 2015|archive-date=November 8, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201108103937/https://www.pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/WWE_News_3/article_84260.shtml|url-status=live}} WWE responded, "It is offensive to suggest that WWE and its executives had anything, but altruistic intentions in honoring Connor and his legacy with The Warrior Award", adding that "moving forward the award will be given annually to acknowledge other unsung heroes among WWE's employees and fans".{{cite web|last1=Johnson|first1=Mike|title=[Updated With WWE Statement] Former WWE ring announcer Justin Roberts blogs on Connor Induction to WWE Hall Of Fame, WWE's usage of Conner|url=http://www.pwinsider.com/ViewArticle.php?id=92820|website=pwinsider.com|access-date=October 28, 2017|archive-date=November 24, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201124173003/https://www.pwinsider.com/ViewArticle.php?id=92820|url-status=live}} From 2019 until its discontinuation in 2024, all recipients had been either current or former WWE employees.{{cite web|title=WWE Is Giving This Year's Warrior Award To Longtime Employee Sue Aitchison|url=http://www.prowrestlingsheet.com/wwe-warrior-award-sue-aitchison/#.XJSjSMlKizc|website=Pro Wrestling Sheet|last=Quarrington|first=Norm|date=March 18, 2019|access-date=March 22, 2019|archive-date=November 27, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201127175104/https://www.prowrestlingsheet.com/wwe-warrior-award-sue-aitchison/#.XJSjSMlKizc|url-status=live}}

Traditionally, Dana Warrior, the widow of the Ultimate Warrior, presented the award. Dana Warrior was released from the company in 2023, and the Warrior Award was discontinued.

=Legacy inductees=

In 2016, WWE introduced a new category for the Hall of Fame called the "Legacy" wing. Inductees in this category are from several eras of wrestling history, going back to the early 20th century.{{cite web|title=Congratulations to the 2016 WWE Hall of Fame Legacy inductees|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/wwe-hall-fame/wwe-hall-fame-2016/article/legacy-inductees|publisher=WWE|date=April 2, 2016|access-date=April 2, 2016|archive-date=October 21, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201021195337/https://www.wwe.com/shows/wwe-hall-fame/wwe-hall-fame-2016/article/legacy-inductees|url-status=live}} All but two inductees, Hisashi Shinma and MSG Network creator Joseph Cohen, have been inducted posthumously.

The Legacy wing has received criticism, specifically regarding the abbreviated way of the inductions. Journalist Dave Meltzer said "this is the category they (WWE) use to honor people who, for whatever reason, they don't feel are marketable names to the modern audience to put in their actual Hall of Fame".{{cite magazine| last =Meltzer| first =Dave| author-link =Dave Meltzer| title =April 22, 2019 Observer Newsletter| magazine =Wrestling Observer Newsletter| date =April 22, 2019}} Promoter and manager Jim Cornette criticized the fact that recognizable names like Jim Londos or El Santo were part of a video package.{{cite episode| title =Episode 48| url =http://www.mlwradio.com/download-jim-cornette-s-drive-thru.html| series =Jim Cornette's Drive-Thru| air-date =April 9, 2018| access-date =April 19, 2019| archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20190419180754/http://www.mlwradio.com/download-jim-cornette-s-drive-thru.html| archive-date =April 19, 2019| url-status =dead}} Previously, Legacy inductees were not announced before the ceremonies and families of posthumous inductees were not notified of their inductions.

During the March 28, 2025, episode of SmackDown, WWE unveiled a new "Immortal Moment" category for the Hall of Fame, honoring historic and influential matches. The first induction in this new category was Bret "The Hitman" Hart vs. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin in a no disqualification submission match with Ken Shamrock as the special guest referee from WrestleMania 13. This induction made Hart the first-ever three-time inductee while also making Austin a two-time inductee.{{cite web|url=https://www.pwmania.com/wwe-announces-first-ever-immortal-moment-inductee-for-2025-hall-of-fame|title=WWE Announces First-Ever Immortal Moment Inductee For 2025 Hall Of Fame|date=March 28, 2025|last=Boone|first=Matt|work=PWMania|access-date=March 28, 2025}}

WWF Hall of Fame (1993) was the inaugural class of the WWE Hall of Fame. During the March 22, 1993, episode of Monday Night Raw a video package announcing André the Giant's induction was shown. No ceremony took place, and André was inducted posthumously. In March 2015 a condensed version of the 1994 ceremony was added to the WWE Network. Due to no original ceremony, the 1993 induction of André was discussed by Gene Okerlund and Renee Young as part of the 1994 commentary.

In March 2015 a condensed version of the ceremony was added to the WWE Network.

It has been discovered that the full ceremony has been recorded (albeit with low quality) and has been uploaded on YouTube

The 1995 class featured two posthumous inductees. Antonino Rocca was presented by his wife, and The Grand Wizard was represented by Bobby Harmon.

Chyna is also a topic of conversation of whether or not she should be inducted due to the nature of her post-WWE career. Ultimately, she was posthumously inducted as a member of D-Generation-X in 2019, although fans, family and fellow wrestlers have since started petitioning for her solo posthumous induction. The most recent discussion amongst fans about a potential induction to the Hall of Fame is about the potential posthumous induction of Bray Wyatt in the near future. Fans started petitioning for his induction, whether it be solo or as part of The Wyatt Family, after his death in August 2023.

Bruno Sammartino, the longest-reigning WWWF World Heavyweight Champion, was once critical of the Hall of Fame. Sammartino disapproved of celebrity inductees such as Pete Rose and William Perry, and said of the ceremony: "What's the point to a Hall of Fame? Is it a building I can actually go to? No. Give me a break".{{cite web|last=MacKinder|first=Matt|title=Sammartino: McMahon is 'a sick-minded idiot|url=https://slamwrestling.net/index.php/2007/05/03/sammartino-mcmahon-is-a-sick-minded-idiot/|date=April 16, 2007|access-date=May 6, 2007|publisher=Canadian Online Explorer|work=SLAM!

Paul Levesque (Triple H) said that it was important for Sammartino to be inducted from a "legitimacy standpoint" and ESPN said that his induction was an opportunity to legitimize the Hall of Fame.{{cite news|title=WWE to induct Bruno Sammartino into HOF|url=https://www.espn.com/blog/playbook/fandom/post/_/id/17789/wwe-to-induct-bruno-sammartino-into-hof|publisher=ESPN|date=February 4, 2013|access-date=January 20, 2016|archive-date=March 26, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160326194708/http://espn.go.com/blog/playbook/fandom/post/_/id/17789/wwe-to-induct-bruno-sammartino-into-hof|url-status=live}} After being announced as an inductee, Sammartino said he considered the Hall to be legitimate.{{cite news|title=WWE News: Update on physical Hall of Fame building|url=http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/WWE_News_3/article_68530.shtml|last=Caldwell|first=James|work=PWTorch|date=February 9, 2013|access-date=February 28, 2017|archive-date=September 28, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200928104555/https://www.pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/WWE_News_3/article_68530.shtml|url-status=live}}

In December 2021, Jeff Hardy was released from WWE. On March 8, 2022, the day that Hardy's no-compete clause expired, WWE reached out to Hardy and offered him an inductee spot to the WWE Hall of Fame (2022) ceremony. Jeff Hardy declined the offer because he was offended, felt like it wasn't time yet and he wanted Matt Hardy to be inducted alongside him.{{cite web|url=https://www.sporf.com/jeff-hardy-reveals-why-he-turned-down-wwe-hall-of-fame-opportunity/|title=Jeff Hardy Reveals Why He Turned Down WWE Hall of Fame Opportunity|publisher=sporf|accessdate=March 8, 2022|archive-date=June 2, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220602120511/https://www.sporf.com/jeff-hardy-reveals-why-he-turned-down-wwe-hall-of-fame-opportunity/|url-status=live}}
