The WWE Hall of Fame will see a new category added in April. The company recently announced the induction of iconic moments and matches to one of pro wrestling's most exclusive clubs.

During a recent episode of BroDown on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge, Vince Russo reacted to WWE's latest Hall of Fame announcement featuring the induction of a WrestleMania classic.

"I don't understand the logic behind the moments... I'm just curious. Are they going to be any entertainment moments? Is Steve Austin driving a beer truck into the arena? Is that a moment? Or does the moment have to be a match?"

He continued:

John Cena's last PPV's name revealed by Kurt Angle? More details HERE

"And again, why is this, Mac? Why is this? Because they'll get somebody to sponsor it and they'll make another payday on? 'Hey, you want to sponsor the match of the year that's going into the Hall of Fame?' Boom." [From 31:26 to 31:56]

WrestleVotes recently provided an update on the WWE Hall of Fame's newest induction. The wrestling insider noted that the company's decision to induct the Bret Hart vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin WrestleMania 13 match had nothing to do with struggling ticket sales.

"Sources confirm WWE’s decision to induct the iconic Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Bret “Hitman” Hart WrestleMania 13 match into the Hall of Fame was made well before the event’s underwhelming ticket sales. This was always part of the 2025 HOF plan."

The 2025 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony takes place on April 18 at Fontainebleau Las Vegas in Nevada.

About the author

Manik Aftab writes Exclusive articles for Sportskeeda Wrestling’s WWE division. A BA (Hons) in English Literature helped him improve his writing skills before starting his career as a pro wrestling writer.

Before joining Sportskeeda, Aftab worked for Ringside News and The Sportster, where his wrestling articles and feature pieces consistently ranked on the first page of Google SERPs.

He prioritizes accuracy, relevance, and ethics in his reporting by conducting thorough research, verifying sources, and adhering to professional journalistic standards.

While Aftab’s favorite wrestler in AEW is Hangman Adam Page, he doesn’t have a favorite in WWE yet. However, he considers Stone Cold Steve Austin to be the greatest professional wrestler of all time. His earliest memory of watching pro wrestling was when The Rock faced The New Age Outlaws in a handicap match, but it was the John Cena vs. Edge match from Unforgiven 2006 that got him hooked. If given the chance to manage a star from the Attitude Era, he would choose The British Bulldog, as he believes Davey Boy Smith was a terrific worker and could've benefitted from having a mouthpiece for his lack of mic skills.

When not watching pro wrestling, Aftab enjoys reading science fiction and watching anime.
