WWE organizes its biggest annual event, WrestleMania, every year around April, and 2024’s WrestleMania 40 event is also expected to be a similarly grand show. Next year’s WrestleMania is scheduled to be held as a two-night event on April 6 and 7, in Pennsylvania, and fans will also witness the company’s Hall of Fame 2024 event during that weekend.
As the Triple H-led promotion has already set a historic ticket sales record for 2024’s WrestleMania, the event is going to be one of the biggest in history. Therefore, to match fans expectations of the WWE, the company needs to make Hall of Fame 2024 an equally successful event. So, let’s take a look at seven superstars who could be inducted into the HOF 2024 to make it a huge success.
Bray Wyatt
After his untimely passing on August 24, 2023, Bray Wyatt is probably the most deserving name to be inducted into the 2024 Hall of Fame. Fans have been pushing the late WWE star’s name for this accolade ever since Triple H announced the death of the former Universal Champion.
As Eddie Guerrero was inducted into the Hall of Fame just a few months after his death in 2006, fans have been suggesting that Wyatt should get the same honor at next year’s Hall of Fame. If the promotion decides to do so, someone from The Rotunda Family could be given this opportunity. It will not only be an honour for Bray’s family, but will also be a great way of paying tribute to the performer.
Batista
WWE legend Batista was one of the most destructive performers throughout his stint in the Triple H-led promotion. Dave is a 6-time World Champion and is known for his feuds against performers like John Cena, Randy Orton, and Triple H. He is also a former Royal Rumble winner and headlined WrestleMania 21 in 2005.
Even though he is now a Hollywood star who has worked with the biggest production houses, his love for pro wrestling hasn’t changed. Thus, WWE can acknowledge his great contribution to the Stamford-based promotion’s success by inducting him into 2024’s Hall of Fame.
Paul Heyman
Next year’s Hall of Fame event is scheduled to be held in Philadelphia, and it is expected to be dedicated to an ECW-related theme. With the venue being the home of the ECW and Paul Heyman being its founder, there cannot be a better place to induct Heyman into the Hall of Fame, than at next year’s event.
The pro wrestling veteran has been in the industry for decades and played important roles in taking the sport to new heights of success. His contribution in establishing Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns as the faces of WWE is iconic, and thus the Stamford-based promotion can induct Paul into the Hall of Fame in 2024. If that’s the plan, The Beast could be the best guy to induct his former manager into the HOF.
Vince McMahon
Everyone knows that next year’s WrestleMania is going to be the event’s edition number 40. Thus, to celebrate the legacy of the show, WWE could be planning something similar for WrestleMania weekend’s Hall of Fame ceremony. If the promotion wants to do something iconic, what better way than to induct WWE’s Executive Chairman Vince McMahon into the Hall of Fame?
There’s no doubt that Mr. McMahon has contributed immensely to the Triple H-led promotion’s success. So, to make next year’s HOF a grand success, Kennedy’s love for the sport can be honored. If Vince is going to be inducted, his biggest rival, Steve Austin, or his daughter, Stephanie McMahon, could be seen inducting him during the ceremony.
Vickie Guerrero
This name may not be among your considerations for the Hall of Fame in 2024, but Vickie Guerrero is a deserving candidate to get this honor during next year’s ceremony. She is the widow of late WWE superstar Eddie Guerrero and is popular for generating heat from fans through her catchphrase, “Excuse me!”
The 55-year-old has is best known for her work as a manager at the Stamford-based promotion. Even though Vickie isn’t currently a member of the WWE roster, the promotion could decide to honor her at next year’s HOF event in Philadelphia. Someone like John Cena inducting her could be a great moment, as she’s been involved in a romantic storyline with the 16-time Champion.
Cyndi Lauper
Cynthia Ann Stephanie Lauper, also known by her ring name Cyndi Lauper, is a former professional wrestling industry figure. She is best known for her association with Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan in the 1980s. Her pro wrestling career took off in 1984 with the hit single Girls Just Want to Have Fun. She was a prominent woman’s personality during that era, but later transitioned herself into a successful Hollywood personality.
Lauper is now a famous American singer, songwriter, and actress. But she could be rewarded for her contribution to the Stamford-based promotion, and to do so, WWE can induct her into 2024’s HOF ceremony. Hogan inducting her would probably be the best thing possible.
The Wyatt Family
All the aforementioned personalities are highly deserving of getting inducted into the Hall of Fame during WrestleMania 40 weekend. But alongside Bray Wyatt, the next most popular name to be rewarded with the accolade is The Wyatt Family.
The faction has done some of the best creative work in Stamford-based promotion’s recent history, and that’s why they deserve to be inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2024. As Windham and Brodie Lee (fka Luke Harper), who were two of the four members of the faction, have passed away in the last few years, the fans are desperately pushing to see this WWE faction in the Hall of Fame.
Induct Windham Rotunda & Jon Huber into the WWE Hall of Fame next year together.

The Wyatt Family’s last two members, Erick Rowan and Braun Strowman, getting recognition on behalf of the faction would probably be one of the most emotional moments. Therefore, the Triple H-led promotion could be planning to honor the faction during next year’s Hall of Fame ceremony.
It remains to be seen who will be inducted into the WWE‘s 2024 Hall of Fame, but the aforementioned names are probably the top few personalities who can receive this honor in 2024. Who, according to you, is the most deserving superstar to be given this accolade during next year’s HOF? Feel free to share it in the comments section!
