The organization has announced four additions so far.

Stephanie McMahon, AJ Styles and the duo known as Demolition, Ax and Smash, will be among those honored.

McMahon, the granddaughter of WWE co-founder Vincent J. McMahon and daughter of former Chairman Vince McMahon and wife of WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque, was announced as the first member of the Class of 2026. She worked in the ring in various roles, from performer to manager to commissioner, and was Women’s Champion at one point in her career.

Outside of the ring, McMahon briefly served as CEO and President and Co-CEO with Nick Khan before stepping away from WWE in January 2023. She is now the host of “What’s Your Story?” podcast and has welcomed fans to several premium live events.

Styles’ in-ring career with WWE seemingly came to an end when he lost to Gunther at the Royal Rumble. His impact on professional wrestling goes far beyond the WWE ring. He was one of the few professional wrestlers to make a name for themselves outside of WWE when he was in Total Nonstop Action (TNA) wrestling. He was with the company until 2014.

He made his WWE debut at the 2016 Royal Rumble, preparing for dream matches against John Cena, Brock Lesnar, Shinsuke Nakamura, Randy Orton and others. He finished his career as a two-time WWE Champion, three-time United States Champion, two-time Tag Team Champion, and Intercontinental Champion. He was the 15th WWE Grand Slam champion.

Demolition was one of WWE’s most popular tag teams in the 1990s. Ax and Smash were three-time tag team champions and hold the record for most combined days as champions.

Teams have been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as groups in three of the last four classes. Rick and Scott Steiner were inducted in 2022, Mike Rotunda and Barry Windham’s US Express entered the Hall in 2024, and The Natural Disasters of Earthquake and Typhoon heeded the call last year.

Professional wrestling fans can get pre-sale access on March 9 at 1 pm ET and tickets will be available to everyone starting March 10 at the same time.
