The WWE is abuzz with anticipation as Lia Maivia, the grandmother of The Rock, is being considered for induction into the prestigious Hall of Fame.
This news comes amidst The People’s Champ’s heightened involvement with WWE following his acceptance of a lucrative offer to join the TKO Board of Directors, which also granted him ownership of his name and likeness.
Recent updates shared by Fightful Select shed light on Lia Maivia’s potential induction. WWE clarified that The Rock does not wield influence over Hall of Fame selections.

Lia, the wife of the late Peter Maivia, stepped into the spotlight after the passing of the High Chief, assuming control of Polynesian Pacific Pro Wrestling and organizing significant events in Hawaii.
She held a pivotal role in The Rock’s upbringing, serving as both his grandmother and a profound influence.
Intriguingly, reports suggest that The Rock may have had a hand in determining this year’s Hall of Fame inductees. While sources within WWE hinted at The Great One’s involvement, there’s no official confirmation on the matter.
