5 Candidates to headline the 2021 WWE Hall of Fame

Despite the fact that we are still in 2019 and WWE is building towards TLC, they have decided to announce the headliners for the 2020 Hall of Fame Class, with Batista and the nWo (Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall & X-PAC).

It may be too early to look forward to 2021, but with so many top Superstars not yet inducted into WWE's Hall of Fame, the 2021 HOF ceremony is a fun one to look forward to.

WWE has reportedly been unhappy with how the ceremony itself has gone over the past few years. So, with all the legends they still have to induct, pulling a big name or two could make this a must-see show once again.

So, without further ado, sit back and read along as we look to the future and predict five possible performers that could headline (or co-headline) WWE's 2021 Hall of Fame class.

#5 Christian

Christian may never have been a huge star in WWE as was often overshadowed by his partner/'brother' Edge, but he put together an incredible career and definitely deserves this huge honor.

Captain Charisma went on to have a great career when he teamed up with Edge, winning the ECW, World Heavyweight and several Intercontinental Championships, and it's a move that's certainly supported by the peeps.

It's common knowledge that Christian wasn't as high in Vince McMahon's books as Edge was, so he's likely not going to be a solo headliner. But to be a co-headliner makes complete sense.

One day, the time will finally come for Christian to be in the Hall of Fame, but given how quickly Edge was put into the inducted following his retirement, it makes sense for Christian to go in now to get the recognition that he truly deserves following a fantastic WWE career.

#4 The Big Show

Big Show is one of the biggest names in WWE history, and despite the joke regarding how often he turns heel/face, we should all look back fondly on the career of the World's Largest Athlete.

He's currently away from the company filming a show, and it's not clear whether his WWE career will go on for much longer, but regardless, he is a legend in the business and deserves the respect that any other legend receives.

His hard work is often not given enough credit. However, late into his career, he completely transformed his body and has managed to stay fairly healthy for a 20+ year career that few in the business can have.

Sure, Show may have not won the World Championships that many expected, but he didn't need that top title to be a big attraction. And it's time for WWE to induct 'The Giant' into the WWE Hall of Fame.

#3 Rob Van Dam

There is never going to be anyone else like RVD

Now, this is a very interesting one, because Rob Van Dam has spent plenty of time in his career away from WWE. But throughout his tenure with ECW and WWE, RVD was absolutely incredible. The 'Whole F'N Show' would constantly put on show-stealing bouts, and his victory over John Cena to claim the WWE Championship at ECW One Night Stand is one of the best moments in WWE history.

His career may not have been as successful as it should have been, but he remains one of the most popular performers we've ever seen, and he definitely deserves a Hall of Fame induction at some point.

Out of all the former ECW stars, Mr. Monday Night was the one that transcended to WWE best. Like Christian, he may work best as a co-headliner, but he's certainly popular enough to warrant a big billing in the WWE Hall of Fame.

#2 The Rock

The Rock is the biggest star to ever come through the wrestling business, and given huge stardom of the 'People's Champion' today's date (arguably the biggest in the world), inducting him in 2021 makes perfect sense.

During his WWE career, The Great One was on top 7 different times, and with all the classic moments and fantastic matches, he is the definition of a Superstar.

Surprisingly, he's not yet been inducted, especially since the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin have already received the honor. So, it doesn't make much sense for them to wait any longer.

It's been a while since we've seen The Rock on WWE TV, but he shows up every now and then. Hence, a surprise return to make this announcement sometime next year would be a huge help for WWE, and this is the easiest choice to headline the Hall of Fame class of 2021.

#1 The Undertaker

The Undertaker is arguably the greatest character in WWE history, and despite the last few performances of the man not being up to mark, his legacy can never be tarnished in the WWE.

He's obviously going into the WWE Hall of Fame whenever he wants to do it, but given that his appearances in WWE have become few and far between, it's time for him to be inducted in the Hall of Fame, and he has to be at the head of a class.

The appearance he had on Broken Skull Sessions saw WWE fans get an inside look behind the character, and his speech would be must-see TV, which is exactly what the company is looking for at its ceremony.

Sure, The Deadman will likely never be fully 'retired', so inducting him the Hall of Fame now makes complete sense as it will give the WWE fans a chance to relive one of the greatest careers in the history of professional wrestling.
