The Undertaker was recently announced as a first-ballot inductee into the 2022 WWE Hall of Fame. As soon as The Deadman's induction was announced, social media was awash with congratulatory messages from fans, superstars, and legends alike.
The Phenom is a well-deserved inductee, having had one of the longest and most consistent runs in the company's history. Over his illustrious career, the Last Outlaw has reinvented himself through different personas such as the Prince of Darkness, The American Badass, and Big Evil.

Due to his impressive in-ring career and immaculate protection of kayfabe, Taker was always assured of headlining the Hall of Fame when his time came. This year's WrestleMania will be held in his home state, making it even more inevitable.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
The 7-time World Champion's induction ticks another name off the guaranteed Hall of Famers list. This raises the question of which current superstars or legends might headline their classes in the near future.
Let's predict the next five headliners of the WWE Hall of Fame after The Undertaker.
#5 In our predictions for the next 5 WWE Hall Of Fame headliners: Batista headlines the 2023 event
Six-time WWE Champion Batista was supposed to headline the Hall of Fame in 2020. Due to lockdown restrictions, as a result of Covid-19, his induction was postponed to a time when fans would be able to attend.
With crowds back in the arenas and WrestleMania 39 set to be held in the SoFi Stadium in Hollywood, 2023 will be the perfect year to induct The Animal. With John Cena not yet close to retirement and The Rock possibly facing Roman Reigns, the former Evolution member is the perfect candidate for an induction.
#4: The Rock heads up the 2024 Hall of Fame one year after his final WrestleMania match
The Rock is arguably the most popular WWE Superstar of all time and definitely the most popular entertainer to ever come out of the company. The 10-time World Champion is one of the biggest movie stars on the planet. The only thing left for him to do is have a retirement match fitting of his star power.
WrestleMania 39 in Hollywood is the perfect opportunity for him to have that contest against the Tribal Chief himself, Roman Reigns. The story of family, success and competition between the biggest star in the industry and the biggest star in Hollywood is one that writes itself.
The Brahma Bull has highlighted his desire to put Reigns over. This would be a much better sendoff than the impromptu match he had at WrestleMania 32 against Eric Rowan.
The Great One should then be inducted into the Hall of Fame the following year, neatly wrapping up his legendary career.
#3: WWE legend Triple H gets a long-overdue solo induction into the 2025 Hall Of Fame
WWE COO Triple H is already a Hall of Famer. The 14-time World Champion was inducted as part of D-Generation X in 2019. However, due to his backstage roles, including running NXT, he has never been inducted as a solo superstar.
Putting aside his legendary stints as a member of Evolution, the Corporation and the Authority, The Game has had an illustrious singles career.
2025 would be as good a year as any to have him headline the Hall of Fame class since it would be his 30-year anniversary in the company.
#2. Brock Lesnar takes his rightful place in the WWE Hall of Fame in 2026
Brock Lesnar is one of the biggest draws in WWE history. The Beast Incarnate has won 10 World Championships, two Royal Rumbles, Money In The Bank and King of the Ring among others. He is the only superstar to win the Rumble and Elimination Chamber in the same year. Lesnar is also the youngest ever WWE Champion and Rumble winner among numerous other records.
The current WWE Champion stated during a recent appearance on the Pat McAfee show that he does not care about being inducted into the Hall of Fame. However, he did not say if he would decline the opportunity.
Having already assembled a Hall Of Fame worthy list of career accomplishments, any year would be a good one to induct the former UFC Champion. 2026 could be the year he finally takes his richly deserved place.
#1 John Cena's WWE Hall Of Fame induction could coincide with his 25th anniversary in the company in 2027
John Cena has been a WWE Superstar for almost 20 years. During that time, he has won a record 16 World Championships, a record 5 United States Championships and many more accolades.
He carried the company as its top guy for more than a decade, creating many iconic moments over memorable rivalries.
The Cenation leader has transitioned to Hollywood in recent years, raising his star even higher in the mainstream stratosphere.
Mr. Hustle, Loyalty and Respect will no doubt return to the company for as long as he lives. Such is his love for the business. Hence, there are few moments more opportune to induct him into the Hall Of Fame than the 25th anniversary of his debut. Cena's time may not be up for long, but the time to induct him should be WrestleMania 43.
