WWE’s highly anticipated 40th annual WrestleMania Premium Live Event is just around the corner, and new details have emerged regarding a significant role for fan-favorite star Jackie Redmond.
Scheduled to take place at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA, on Friday night, the 2024 WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony promises to be a memorable affair. With seven names confirmed for induction into the 2024 Class, anticipation is running high.
According to PWInsider, RAW on-air talent Jackie Redmond is poised to take center stage as the host of this year’s Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
While it’s yet to be revealed which other on-air talents may join her for the broadcast, current plans indicate that the 36-year-old will lead the proceedings on Friday.
Redmond’s journey with World Wrestling Entertainment began in 2021, where she has since hosted various shows, including RAW Talk and SmackDown LowDown. Her role expanded to that of a backstage interviewer on RAW in June 2023, all while continuing her coverage of NHL games during hockey season.
The Hall of Fame induction ceremony will be aired live on Peacock this Friday night, immediately following SmackDown on FOX. Taking place at the Wells Fargo Center, the ceremony coincides with the venue’s hosting of the go-home SmackDown. While WWE has yet to confirm the Red Carpet special from previous years, viewers can expect the special WrestleMania Kickoff at 5 pm ET as a lead-in to SmackDown and the Hall of Fame.
Additionally, there are rumors swirling about potential Legacy Wing inductees being announced during the ceremony itself, with speculation suggesting a significant involvement from wrestling icon Hulk Hogan.
