WWE recently announced that The Undertaker will headline its 2022 Hall of Fame class. With the ceremony now right around the corner, additional inductees could be announced soon.
There is a strong argument to be made for WWE allowing the Undertaker to enter the Hall of Fame on his own. Should Vince McMahon decide to add others to the list this year, there are several wrestlers worthy of having their names called.

In previous years, WWE has opted for diverse Hall of Fame classes. The most basic formula includes one headliner and some variation of a manager, tag team or celebrity.
A former WWE writer just went after JBL for his comments HERE
This article looks at five worthy names who could join The Undertaker in the WWE Hall of Fame this year.
#5. Goldust
If Cody Rhodes is coming back to WWE, a logical choice for induction would be his older brother. Goldust is more than deserving of a spot in the Hall of Fame.
Dustin Rhodes played one of the most unique characters in WWE during the 90's. During a time where most wrestlers were throwing ideas at the wall to see what would stick, the Goldust character went the distance with Dustin's combination of strangeness, absurdity, and a flare for the dramatic.
As time went on, Goldust transitioned from the realm of the weird to the realm of comedy. All the while, he remained one of the most consistent talents on the roster, able to have a strong match with anyone.
During his time in WWE, Goldust held the Intercontinental Championship three times. He's also a three-time World Tag Team Champion, a nine-time Hardcore Champion, and one half of a popular on-screen duo with his manager Marlena.
Goldust joining the Hall of Fame this year would unquestionably be worthy of a 24-karat gold production.
#4. Miss Elizabeth
Miss Elizabeth became a household name in professional wrestling in the mid-1980's. Elizabeth was a manager in WWE from 1985 to 1992 before working for WCW from 1996 to 2000.
Miss Elizabeth is best known for managing Randy Savage and played a pivotal role in the historic Mega Powers Explode angle between Savage and Hulk Hogan.
Towards the end of her WWE run, she briefly broke away from the Macho Man to manage Dusty Rhodes. In WCW, she managed Savage, Hogan, and Lex Luger. She was also involved in a main event angle with Bill Goldberg.
Many revere Elizabeth as the First Lady of professional wrestling. She was known for her beauty and grace, but was still able to hold her own in a male-dominated environment.
#3. Demolition
This one is long overdue. That statement might simply be enough when it comes to Demolition joining the WWE Hall of Fame. Fans have been wondering for years why this team has not yet been enshrined next to other tag legends.
Although they were only three-time WWE Tag Team Champions, those three reigns have forever etched them into the WWE history books. Demolition currently holds the record for most combined days as tag champs in WWE.
The team also holds the third-longest title reign of any team. The only two tag teams ahead of them are Mark Coffey and Wolfgang (NXT) and The New Day (RAW).
Demolition developed a reputation for their smash-mouth style and their unique look. Both of these things helped make them an iconic team in WWE.
#2. Sid Vicious
Sid Eudy went by many names during his wrestling career, including Sid Justice, Sid Vicious and Sycho Sid. While Sid was only in WWE for a brief time, his impact on the sport is still worthy of a spot within the Hall of Fame.
During his short run with the company, he managed to capture the WWE Championship twice. Sid was also a two-time WCW Champion.
While Sid's stops in WWE and WCW never lasted more than a couple of years at a time, he still managed to find himself working with the best talent each company had to offer.
In his first run in WWE, he worked with the likes of Ted DiBiase, Randy Savage, Jake Roberts, Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, and The Undertaker. During his time in WCW, he worked angles with Sting, Vader, and Ric Flair. When Sid returned to WWE in the late 90's, he worked with Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, and Diesel.
Sid made an immediate impact everywhere he went, and he is bound to make that same impact in the WWE Hall of Fame when his name is finally called.
#1. Earl Hebner
WWE has never allowed a referee to enter the Hall of Fame. According to former WCW and WWE referee Nick Patrick, this has to do with paying royalties.
Whatever the reason, WWE needs to move past it. Not many referees deserve to be enshrined in the WWE Hall of Fame, but there are certainly a few, and one of them is Earl Hebner.
When you think of the attitude era, one of the things that comes to mind is Hebner. As the senior referee, he was the one in all the main-event matches during that era. He was the one taking all the big bumps in the ring and standing up to the likes of Vince McMahon, Triple H, and others when they got out of line.
In many ways, Hebner was another on-screen performer, as he was just as much a part of the story as the wrestlers were. This was no more apparent than the time he thought he was going to be killed because of something he did on TV.
Ask a wrestling fan to name the best referee of all-time and odds are Hebner's name will be mentioned more often than not. That alone should be enough for the legendary ref to take his place in the WWE Hall of Fame.
