WrestleMania 41- The WWE Hall of Fame
- Apr 18, 2025, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
Most people have heard of WrestleMania, the worldwide annual wrestling event held by the WWE.
However, another event occurs beforehand that gives thanks and recognition to the modern-day gladiators who entertain millions of fans each year. That event is the WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony.
Dating back to June 23, 1995, this event showcased the early pioneers of the WWE and features legends of the ring, such as Andre The Giant, Edge, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Eddie Guerrero. Sadly, Guerrero was one of the modern-day wrestlers who was inducted after he passed away.
The event doesn’t solely feature awards being given to wrestlers. There is a portion of the evening where a celebrity is chosen to be placed in the WWE Hall of Fame. They range from boxer Mike Tyson to former bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger and even Donald Trump, president of the US at the time of writing. Say what you will, not many presidents can say that they are a member of the WWE Hall of Fame!
This year, fans have a suspicion that WWE legend and all-around nice guy John Cena will earn his place in the WWE Hall of Fame, so here, you can read about the event and why Cena may be inducted.

Is The Hall of Fame Award Part of the Main WrestleMania Event?
No, the WrestleMania Hall of Fame ceremony is a separate event from WrestleMania, taking place the night before.
The WWE Hall of Fame is due to occur on April 18, 2025, at The Winchester in Nevada, at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas in its BleauLive Theater. It will be aired after the WWE’s regular screening of SmackDown.
So, if you want to see who is inducted and if Cena is among them, be sure to tune in. It is a great warm-up to the annual event the day after!
How Many Wrestlers Can Become Hall of Fame Winners?
To be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, a wrestler has to have earned the respect of the fans, and while most people are entered when their careers are winding down, some have been entered posthumously.
In most Hall of Fame ceremonies, historically, three wrestlers have been inducted to the WWE Hall of Fame alongside one celebrity, but there have been instances of up to five being inducted at a given time.
Why is John Cena Being Inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame?
At the time of writing, there is no confirmation that John Cena will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. However, based on statements at tour announcements, it seems highly likely that he will be in 2025.
The likelihood was heightened based on John Cena announcing that he is aiming to retire and stating that he will soon be taking part in a retirement tour. During this tour, he is set to compete in some upcoming events in 2025, which feature WrestleMania 41, the Royal Rumble, and the Elimination Chamber.
