Bull Nakano’s legacy in women’s wrestling is profound, having delivered memorable performances against the likes of Alundra Blayze and achieving considerable success in Japan.
The U.S. Express, comprising Mike Rotunda and Barry Windham, made history by competing in the inaugural WrestleMania, with Barry earning his second induction into the Hall of Fame after being honored as part of The Four Horsemen years prior.
Paul Heyman’s influence spans decades, encompassing roles in promotion, management, commentary, and more. His ongoing involvement in WWE, particularly with The Bloodline, underscores his enduring impact on the sport.
While these four luminaries have been confirmed, speculation abounds regarding additional inductees. One name circulating is Haku, renowned for his prowess in WWE, WCW, Japan, and beyond.

Lia Maivia, grandmother of The Rock and integral to The Bloodline’s storied lineage, is also rumored for induction, having played a pivotal role in Polynesian Pacific Pro Wrestling.
Additionally, there’s speculation about the late Bray Wyatt, whose untimely passing last year left a void in the wrestling community. An induction into the Hall of Fame would serve as a fitting tribute to his remarkable career and enduring legacy.
As anticipation builds for the 2024 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony, fans eagerly await further announcements, hoping to witness their favorite legends take their rightful place among wrestling’s elite.
