#4. Many of the Anoa'i family are pushing for Umaga to be inducted

The Anoa'i family has been filled with legendary and iconic wrestlers. Stars like Rikishi, Yokozuna, The Wild Samoans, and more are already part of the WWE Hall of Fame. However, one legend who has yet to take his place in the lineup is Umaga.

The Samoan Bulldozer was one of the most dominant superstars in the Stamford-based promotion and had memorable feuds with John Cena and Bobby Lashley. Aside from wrestling fans, Rikishi and Zilla Fatu have already pushed for the legend to be inducted, and with how hot The Bloodline's story is lately, there could be no better time.

#3. Former WWE star recently pushed for Bray Wyatt to be inducted into the 2025 WWE Hall of Fame

In August 2023, the wrestling world was shocked by the announcement of Bray Wyatt's untimely passing. He was best known for portraying several dark characters in the ring, the most notable being The Fiend. His legacy will now be carried on by The Wyatt Sicks, a group led by his brother Uncle Howdy (Bo Dallas). However, a Hall of Fame induction is also fitting.

Bray's fiancee and former WWE ring announcer JoJo agreed with fans that Wyatt should be inducted into next year's Hall of Fame. She said that he deserves it as one of the greatest minds in wrestling, which many fans have surely agreed on.

Fans have eagerly been waiting for the Hall of Fame induction of a legendary wrestler, who was supposed to be inducted four years ago. The name in question here is none other than Batista. He was supposed to be part of the 2020 Hall of Fame, but the COVID-19 pandemic delayed the program. In the following years, his Hollywood schedule did not align with the ceremony.

The Animal has recently expressed that he is still interested in being inducted into the Hall of Fame if his schedule allows. Hopefully, the former champion and fans won't have to wait longer than 2025 to see him be inducted finally.
