It has finally been announced that the WWE Hall of Fame 2021 ceremony will take place on April 6, 2021. On this week's episode of WWE's The Bump, Molly Holly was announced as the first inductee into this year's class of WWE Hall of Fame.

Additionally, it has been revealed that the Class of 2020 will also be inducted this year since last year's ceremony was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2020 features Batista, John Bradshaw Layfield (JBL), The British Bulldog, The New World Order (nWo), Jushin "Thunder" Liger, and The Bella Twins.
The first name that would come to the mind of the fans to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year is surely that of The Undertaker. The Phenom retired from in-ring competition after completing three glorious decades last year. However, WWE will likely hold his induction until next year when they could conduct the ceremony in front of a full crowd.
In this article, let's take a look at five more stars who could be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as part of the 2021 class. Be sure to comment down and let us know your thoughts and predictions on the same.
#5 Rob Van Dam gets inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame
A former WWE Champion, Rob Van Dam has been a fan favorite Superstar. His high-flying skills and charisma helped him climbed the mountain of success in WWE.
Last year, during an appearance on The Dropkick Podcast, RVD revealed that WWE hasn't contacted him for a possible WWE Hall of Fame induction but also added that it'd be an honor for him.
"No sir? I can definitely see it happening, but knowing how things work, I could also see it not happening, or not happening for a long time anyway. I used to think – and I'm still not sure, but do you have to retire in order to be in the Hall of Fame? And the fact that I've been wrestling for Impact, that's got to be a factor too. They don't want to do too much with somebody. But, who knows? Of course it'd be an honor, and we'll see." (h/t WrestlingInc)
The 2006 Money in the Bank winner, currently a free agent, has been in and out of WWE in the last decade, wrestling for multiple other promotions. Recently, he revealed that WWE reached out to him for a documentary on his career and he'll be shooting with them. RVD added that he is in talks with WWE about doing a book. With all the collaboration, it is possible that Rob Van Dam gets inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year.
#4 Victoria gets inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame
Another possible inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2021 could be Victoria. A former two-time WWE Women's Champion, Victoria had a great career with WWE and later in TNA.
Speaking to WrestleZone, Victoria had the following to say about a potential WWE Hall of Fame induction.
"I get that question all the time. When I hear it from the fans that I deserve it, that means I did my job. They were entertained by me and they appreciated my work, my ethic in the business and they've appreciated what I've done. That makes me feel good when I hear it from fans, and that's all I really need."
"It's not my decision to be inducted into the Hall of Fame; we don't call and say, 'hey, it's my turn.' It's not something we do. Or it's 'well, why don't you go back?' You don't understand—we don't pick up the phone and say we want to come back, you have to be invited. When that next time comes, it will be amazing, but when I hear it from the fans it's enough right now."
Trish Stratus, who was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013, named Victoria as someone who should be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
"Victoria, Lisa Marie Varon. I don't know, I'm surprised she hasn't been inducted yet. I feel like she definitely… she did so much in WWE and then went on to have a whole another career in TNA and she is iconic."
Victoria returned to WWE after nearly twelve years and entered the 2021 women's Royal Rumble match. Could that return lead to a WWE Hall of Fame induction for her?
#3 Former WWE composer Jim Johnston gets inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame
WWE Hall of Fame is also a platform for the company to honor the behind-the-scene heroes that have played a massive role in the success of the wrestling promotion. One such name is former WWE music composer Jim Johnston. Having produced iconic entrance themes of The Undertaker, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Vince McMahon, and many others, Jim Johnston deserves to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
During a recent interview with Lucha Libre Online's Michael Morales Torres, Jim Johnston mentioned that he considers Vince McMahon a friend and stood on solid ground with him for over three decades.
"I consider Vince a friend. It was a little upsetting at the end, with the way things ended, but this happens in corporations, with a lot of politics involved, people trying to get my job. But Vince and I have always gotten along. He’s a really intriguing guy, he’s an incredibly charismatic guy. He can be real tough, he can be a real bully. But fortunately, personally, I did not get to see that end of him too frequently. He and I stood on pretty solid ground for 32 years."
Jim Johnston recently spoke to Sportskeeda and revealed various interesting facts, which you can check out in the video below.
Will Jim Johnston be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2021 for all the amazing themes that he has produced over the years for the company?
#2 Vader gets inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame
Big Van Vader is another WWE legend who fans have been wanting to see get inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame for the last few years. A former three-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion, Vader last appeared for WWE at the 2016 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony where he inducted Stan Hansen.
Unfortunately, Vader passed away on June 18, 2018, at the age of 63, after being hospitalized for a month for pneumonia. Vader has had a massive impact on the pro wrestling industry around the globe, especially in Japan. He is long overdue to get inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, and the wait might just come to an end this year.
#1 William Regal gets inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame
William Regal is considered by many to be one of the best technical wrestlers in the history of WWE. The 2008 King of the Ring, William Regal has had a highly successful career in WWE winning multiple championships including the European title, Intercontinental title, and World tag team titles.
While William Regal has retired from in-ring competition, he holds a major authority position in WWE as the Director of Talent Development and Head of Global Recruiting. He also serves as the general manager for WWE NXT. William Regal could definitely be a great choice to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year.
