Stephanie McMahon and AJ Styles will headline the Hall of Fame class. McMahon was the first person revealed, back in September. Both were notified of their inductions publicly by The Undertaker, who told Styles he'd be going in this year, as well, after he left his gloves in the ring during a February episode of "WWE Raw" in Georgia. Styles wrestled his final match, a loss against GUNTHER, at the Royal Rumble.
Demolition will also be inducted, and Sycho Sid and Bad News Brown will go into the Legacy wing. Dennis Rodman is the celebrity inductee this year. As for the Immortal Moment, WWE will honor Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant's match from WrestleMania 3. It will be the late Hogan's third time in the Hall of Fame, as he has been honored individually and as a member of the nWo. It will be Andre's second honor after he was inducted during the inaugural ceremony in 1993.
