The 2025 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony was a night of reverence and raw emotion, live from the BleauLive Theater in Las Vegas. With Michael Cole hosting and Pat McAfee alongside him, the night celebrated icons across generations—culminating in a powerful tribute to Triple H.

The red carpet show featured appearances from current stars and legends.

Michael Cole opened the ceremony by reflecting on his WWE journey before a tribute video led to Lex Luger’s induction. Diamond Dallas Page described Luger’s transformation and resilience, calling him a symbol of hope. Lex stood from his wheelchair and shared stories of redemption, faith, and renewed appreciation for wrestling and the fans.

The Undertaker inducted Michelle McCool, who praised her contributions to WWE and their life together.

She closed by affirming her self-worth, echoing her theme of “Flawless Finishes.”

The Natural Disasters were honored next. John Tenta’s children reflected on their father’s legacy, and Fred Ottman delivered an emotional tribute to his longtime partner. The team’s historic run and brotherly bond were central themes in the segment.

Hart reflected on trust and magic between performers, while Austin thanked the crowd and his peers and credited Hart with shaping “Stone Cold.”

Triple H’s induction closed the night.
