With WrestleMania 43 taking place in Riyadh, the WWE Hall of Fame could be a crowd-pleaser for fans in Saudi Arabia.

Although a date is yet to be confirmed for WrestleMania 43, it is likely that the WWE Hall of Fame will feature, with this year’s ceremony taking place on April 17, the night before the iconic PLE.

No doubt wanting to pull out all the stops for WrestleMania 43, WWE could induct a number of top stars in the Class of 2027:

Headliners

With John Cena and Brock Lesnar both having seen an end to their in-ring careers, either star has had the type of storied career that would make them a shoo-in for the WWE Hall of Fame.

Whether WWE will induct them both remains to be seen, as saving one for a later date may be a benefit in coming years. That said, Saudi Arabian authorities are likely to want the most prestige, and Cena and Lesnar would certainly bring that.

Cena continues to be a feature in WWE programming, with the John Cena Classic set to take place in December, while Lesnar has been absent since losing to Oba Femi at SummerSlam in August.

Group

When it comes to tag teams that defined an era, Edge & Christian vs. The Hardy Boyz vs. The Dudleyz fit that bill when it came to TLC action.

Curiously, only fifty per cent of those six are members of the WWE Hall of Fame; being Edge, Bubba Ray and D-Von.

It’s unlikely, short of striking a deal with AEW, that Christian would be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame next year, with the star making his thoughts clear in past comments.

For The Hardy Boyz, however, currently signed to TNA Wrestling, it’s not beyond the realm of possibility that they finally get their proverbial flowers in Saudi Arabia.

Celebrity

A mainstream celebrity who was involved in the first-ever WrestleMania, Cyndi Lauper is yet to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.

The Rock n Wrestling era of the then-WWF celebrated the crossover between professional wrestling and the music genre, with Lauper serving in multiple capacities, including being in the corner of Wendi Richter for her victory over Leilani Kai at WrestleMania 1 in 1985.

Her contribution to professional wrestling is something that has been overlooked by WWE for far too long, particularly given how celebrity involvement has risen in prominence over the subsequent years.

Legacy

Honoring pioneers and legendary wrestlers, the Legacy wing of the WWE Hall of Fame was brought back in 2025.

The late PAC, known to WWE fans as Adrian Neville, passed away on September 27, 2026 and arguably should be recognized with a Hall of Fame induction for a style that defined a generation of wrestling talent.

Missed opportunities

For every WWE Hall of Fame, there are going to be missed opportunities when it comes to stars yet to be inducted.

While fans will likely never know the specific criteria that sees some names omitted or included in any given year, there will no doubt be repeated calls for names such as Chyna, inducted as a member of D-Generation X in the Class of 2019, to be included on her own merits.

With the WWE Hall of Fame in 2027, attention will no doubt be given to the selected fee to be inducted in Saudi Arabia.
