Come April, Las Vegas will be the epicenter of the wrestling world when the two-night WrestleMania 41, the biggest upcoming WWE event on the calendar, brings two days of epic in-ring action to “Sin City.” But, before the “Showcase of the Immortals” kicks off, fans around the world will celebrate the 2025 WWE Hall of Fame inductees, the men and women who not only helped the company become a pop culture juggernaut but also helped the industry as a whole reach new heights.

At the time of this writing, three inductees have been announced – Paul “Triple H” Levesque, Michelle McCool, and Lex Luger – so we thought now would be a perfect time to start breaking down the latest class of inductees and go over their biggest accomplishments inside the squared circle. Then, we’ll dive into how to watch the 2025 WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony live less than 24 hours before WrestleMania 41 kicks off.

Paul 'Triple H' Levesque

In January 2025, WWE.com announced Paul “Triple H” Levesque as the first 2025 WWE Hall of Fame inductee just hours after his wife, Stephanie McMahon, Shawn Michaels, and the Undertaker surprised him with the news. Long overdue for inclusion, Triple H, who was previously inducted as a member of D-Generation X back in 2019, had an in-ring career that was more than Hall of Fame-worthy, with over a dozen world championships, a King of the Ring crown, two Royal Rumble victories, and some of the best WrestleMania matches (and entrances) of all time.

Michelle McCool

In February 2025, WWE.com announced that Michelle McCool would also be joining her husband, The Undertaker, in the Hall of Fame. A two-time WWE Women’s Champion and the inaugural Diva’s Champion, McCool had one of the most prolific and transformative careers in the history of modern women’s wrestling. From her days as part of the Diva Search to her time at the top of the division with her dominant LayCool tag team alongside Layla, there was nothing McCool couldn’t do in the ring. Named both the Woman of the Year and No. 1 Female Wrestler by Pro Wrestling Illustrated in 2010 (the same year she was named Diva of the Year by WWE), McCool had a career like no other.

Lex Luger

In March 2025, WWE.com announced that Lex Luger would be inducted into the latest class of the Hall of Fame. The “Total Package” held multiple championships, won the Royal Rumble, headlined WrestleMania, and so much more over his career. Hell, he was a member of the Four Horsemen, one of the greatest stables of all time. Sure, he never held the WWE Championship (which is wild to think about), but his decades in the business are reason enough to put him in.

The Natural Disasters (John “Earthquake” Tenta And Fred “Typhoon” Ottman)

The Natural Disasters, the legendary tag team that included Earthquake (the late John Tenta) and Typhoon (Fred Ottman), will finally be joining the WWE Hall of Fame after years of fans asking when the dominant duo would get their well-deserved recognition. Appearing on Sportskeeda’s WrestleBinge podcast in March 2025, Ottman confirmed that they would be going in, years after they smashed through WWE’s tag division in the early 1990s. Known for their feuds with the Legion of Doom, the Bushwhackers, and Money Inc., the pairing of Earthquake and Typhoon, along with manager Jimmy Hart, was a force to be reckoned with in WWE.

Philip grew up in Louisiana (not New Orleans) before moving to St. Louis after graduating from Louisiana State University-Shreveport. When he's not writing about movies or television, Philip can be found being chased by his three kids, telling his dogs to stop barking at the mailman, or chatting about professional wrestling to his wife. Writing gigs with school newspapers, multiple daily newspapers, and other varied job experiences led him to this point where he actually gets to write about movies, shows, wrestling, and documentaries (which is a huge win in his eyes). If the stars properly align, he will talk about For Love Of The Game being the best baseball movie of all time.
