During last Friday Night SmackDown, WWE offered fans a look into who will be presiding over the inductions during this year’s Hall of Fame event. While a few inductions are yet to be disclosed—namely the Natural Disasters (Earthquake and Typhoon) and the Legacy Wing inductees like Kamala, Ivan Koloff, and Dory Funk Sr.—, most of the rest now have official individuals who will officiate their induction without much surprise.
“The Heartbreak Kid,” Shawn Michaels has the honor of inducting Triple H. Despite his wishes, Lex Luger will not be flanked by Sting at his induction. Rather, Diamond Dallas Page has stepped up as his inductor.
Michelle McCool’s induction stands out because she often expressed a desire to be inducted alongside Layla El. Interestingly, her husband, The Undertaker, will do the honors.
There is also a twist in the tale as CM Punk will be the one to virtue of inducting both Bret Hart and Stone Cold Steve Austin for their Immortal Moment accomplishments.
Fans can expect the Legacy Wing inductees to be recognized via a cinematic content piece. Still, the omission of an official inductor for The Natural Disasters is raising eyebrows. Many believe Jimmy Hart could be the given operative. However, no official announcement has been delivered by WWE regarding this.
