After the surprise announcement that Triple H would headline the 2025 WWE Hall of Fame class, wrestling fans have turned their attention to the other Superstars likely to be inducted in April.
Many fans will focus on The Game's friend and former stablemate, Batista, as another addition to the class, but there are several marquee names who would make this year's ceremony one to remember.
Here are the other performers possibly joining Triple H in the 2025 Hall of Fame.
Batista
Triple H feigned modesty when Shawn Michaels and Undertaker surprised him with his Hall of Fame induction, but one way to ensure he is not the main act would be to split the spotlight with Batista.
After retiring at WrestleMania 35 in 2019, it's time for the 56-year-old's induction.
Batista signed with WWE in 2000 and eventually found his place as the enforcer of the Evolution stable.
During his time with the company, he won the WWE Championship twice, the World Heavyweight Championship four times, the World Tag Team Championship three times, the WWE Tag Team Championship once, and the 2005 and 2014 Royal Rumble matches.
Bray Wyatt
While it's always sad to posthumously induct someone into the WWE Hall of Fame, Bray Wyatt deserves the honor. While his career was not as long as other legends, his impact was monumental.
Windham Rotunda debuted with The Wyatt Family in 2013, creating a character that will live forever with fans. As any true artist, he reinvented himself on several occasions, including the creation of the beloved Fiend.
During his time on the main roster, Wyatt was a one-time WWE champion, two-time WWE universal champion, one-time SmackDown tag team champion, and one-time Raw tag team champion. For his family, the induction would be closure on his decorated career.
Mickie James
The WWE has been adding a female legend to the Hall of Fame each year, and 2025 should be no exception. This time, however, it should be a veteran who will garner a major reaction from the fans in attendance at the event.
Look no further than Mickie James.
She debuted in October 2005 and won her first WWE Women's Championship at WrestleMania 22. During her time with the company, she held the Women's Championship five times and was a previous winner of the Divas Championship.
In TNA—which is now affiliated with WWE—she won the Knockouts Championship five times, making her an 11-time women's world champion between the two promotions.
Few women deserve the Hall of Fame nod more than the popular James.
Demolition
Another staple of WWE Hall of Fame classes is tag teams or stables. In 2025, the company should go back to the late 1980s and early 1990s and finally give Demolition the accolades they deserve.
Consisting of Ax (Bill Eadie) and Smash (Barry Darsow)—and later Crush (Brian Adams)—Demolition were three-time WWF world tag team champions, and they hold the record for the most combined days as reigning titleholders.
In addition, the tag team's first reign with the WWF World Tag Team Championship is the fourth longest with any tag team championship in WWE history. After so many years of being passed over, it's time for Demolition to get their moment of glory.
Johnny Knoxville
WWE loves the mainstream buzz it generates by inducting a celebrity into the Hall of Fame, and this year will be no different. The 2025 celebrity inductee should be Johnny Knoxville, star of Jackass and a veteran of WWE.
Knoxville first appeared in WWE On the October 13, 2008 episode of Raw, and later appeared as the guest star on the October 4, 2010 edition. The guest appearances were fun, but his feud with Sami Zayn makes him Hall of Fame-worthy.
After entering the 2022 men's Rumble match and being eliminated by Zayn, Knoxville cost the then-champion his title, setting up their match at WrestleMania 38.
The resulting bout was a comedic classic, securing Knoxville's place in WWE history.
