Who's being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2025 - first ever match inducted

As WrestleMania gets closer and closer, one of the annual events that is part of WWE's biggest weekend is the Hall of Fame evening. 

Each year, WWE honours a selection of its former Superstars by inducting them into their prestigious Hall of Fame on WrestleMania weekend. 

Let's take a look at who is getting their flowers ahead of WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas this spring. 

The WWE Hall of Fame class of 2025 

Paul 'Triple H' Levesque 

The first name announced for this year's class, and the man who will headline the 2025 group, is the current Chief Content Officer of WWE, Paul Levesque, more commonly known as Triple H. 

Trips' does already have a Hall of Fame ring, having been inducted as part of D-Generation X's inclusion in 2021, but will become a two-time inductee this year - and it's long overdue. 

He debuted in WWE in 1995 as 'Hunter Hurst Helmsley' but would soon transition into Triple H and become one of the most iconic Superstars of the era. From the formation of DX to becoming a 14-time world champion, 'The Game' was the perfect evil foil to the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin, Mick Foley and most notably, The Rock. 

Yet, it might be in his post-wrestling career that Triple could find himself being even more revered. As the main man behind the curtain, a large portion of WWE's recent surge has been down to the sucess that he's brought behind the scenes - and that's only just getting started.

Michelle McCool 

The Callaway household will consist of two Hall of Famers this Spring after Michelle McCool, wife to WWE legend the Undertaker, was named as the second inductee into the 2025 class. 

McCool's big break thanks to the company's 2004 Diva Search, and although she didn't win the competition, she would help define the 'Diva' era perhaps more so than any other female. 

She made her main roster debut in 2006, and although she struggled to make an impact in her early days, by 2008 it was McCool who became WWE's first-ever Divas Champion and it was with that title her career skyrocketed. 

Alongside Layla, the duo of 'Laycool' dominated the women's division - even sharing the Diva's title - and enjoyed memorable feuds against the likes of Natalya, Victoria and Kelly Kelly. 

McCool retired as a four-time world champion and has since made special one-off appearances in three women's Royal Rumbles - the last coming in 2023.

Lex Luger 

One of the most recognisable names and biggest physiques from the 1990s and 2000s, Lex Luger, has gotten his long overdue induction into this year's Hall of Fame. 

A name synonymous with the Monday Night Wars, 'The Total Package' was involved in some of the most memorable moments of the era and was associated with some of its most famous groups. 

Luger began his career in WCW in the late eighties and was part of the Four Horsemen before going solo and winning the United States Championship for the first time. 

In 1993, he jumped ship to WWF first as part of the WBF before debuting as “The Narcissist" and then going on to be an all-American hero dressed in old glory. Famously, bodyslamming Yokozuna on the USS Intrepid ahead of SummerSlam. 

By 1995, he was back in WCW, iconically appearing on the first episode of Nitro just a night after being on Raw. During his second stint with the company, he'd taste world championship gold as well as being a key figure in the nWo Wolfpac. 

One of the most lauded physiques ever seen in a wrestling ring, Luger stayed with WCW until its demise and now rightfully takes his place in the Hall of Fame.

The Natural Disasters

When it came to big men, there wasn't a bigger tag team in the 1990s than the pair of Earthquake and Typhoon, collectively known as The Natural Disasters. 

Earthquake made his name as a decorated Sumo champion before moving to WWE, where he famously battled Hulk Hogan across the summer of 1990 before moving into the tag team ranks. 

He joined forces with the newly named Typhoon, who had previously put smiles on fans' faces as 'Tugboat' before teaming with Earthquake and dominating the tag team scene. 

Together, they memorably traded blows with the likes of Money Ince, Legion of Doom and The Nasty Boys and captured the tag team titles in July 1992. 

The pair parted ways in 1993, as both left the company and wrestled under different guises in WCW before Earhquake's sad, untimely death in 2006.

Immortal Moment - 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin vs Bret 'Hitman' Hart, WrestleMania 13 

For the first time ever, WWE will induct a singular match into the Hall of Fame following the announcement of the 'Immortal Moment' inductee. 

Taking the honour of the first moment is an iconic WrestleMania 13 match from 1997 when  Bret 'Hitman' Hart beat 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin in Chicago. 

The match is seen as one of the key moments in the rise of Austin, as he and Hart traded roles during the bout, and it set in motion one of the biggest stars the company has ever seen. With the exclamation point coming at the sight of Austin's bloody face trying to withstand the pain of Hart's Sharpshooter submission.
