The former WWE Divas Champion had her final match in the promotion back in 2015 and has never even made an appearance since then at the time of this writing.

After her husband CM Punk made his return at Survivor Series 2023, it has felt like it is only a matter of time before Lee also makes a comeback to WWE at some point.

Celebrating her contributions as one of the pioneers of the Women’s Revolution, AJ Lee getting inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame would be a memorable moment that could mark her place in the company’s history.

7. Bray Wyatt

In 2023, Bray Wyatt tragically passed away at the age of just 36 years old.

Ever since, the company has done everything it can to honor the legacy that Wyatt left behind through tributes in various forms.

Whether it be his brother Bo Dallas creating The Wyatt Sicks or the touching documentary in honor to Bray, WWE could give the former Universal Champion one more tribute through the Hall of Fame.

With the likes of Dallas and his widow JoJo Offerman still around, it would truly be a special induction if Bray Wyatt is given the honor of becoming a WWE Hall of Famer.

6. John Cena

2025 marks the final year of John Cena’s in-ring career as he is in the midst of a retirement tour that will end this December.

Cena is one of the most iconic names to ever step foot in a WWE ring and is in the conversation of being one of the greatest of all time.

After setting the record with his 17th world title win at WrestleMania 41, the company should not waste any time before inducting him into the WWE Hall of Fame.

With his career ending in December, next year’s WrestleMania 42 weekend should feature Cena being inducted as the headliner in the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2026.

5. The Rock

The only way John Cena would not go in as the headliner in the 2026 WWE Hall of Fame is if the company decides to honor someone else who could fill that spot, and that would be The Rock.

In 2024, “The Final Boss” once again proved his value to the company when he assisted in Cody Rhodes finishing his story at WrestleMania 40 by being the antagonist alongside Roman Reigns.

Considering he is currently part of the TKO Board of Directors, The Rock could finally join his father, grandfather and grandmother in the WWE Hall of Fame next year.

While he missed Mania weekend in 2025, The Rock should have a presence next year in Las Vegas, and it could come through an induction into the WWE Hall of Fame.

4. Matt & Jeff Hardy

Back in February, The Hardys made their return to WWE TV as part of the multi-year partnership with TNA Wrestling.

Still going strong, Matt and Jeff Hardy held the TNA World Tag Team Championship and are among the best duos in wrestling today.

While they are still active in-ring competitors, this shouldn’t stop WWE from asking The Hardys if they would like to be celebrated as inductees in the Hall.

The Hardys going into the WWE Hall of Fame seems like a no brainer with the company having a close relationship with The Dudleys to induct them in as one of their all time great rivals.

In April, Kelly Kelly signed a WWE Legends contract, making her officially associated with the promotion after not appearing since the 2022 Women’s Royal Rumble match.

During the 2010s, Kelly was one of the most known and recognizable talents on the WWE roster at that time.

Despite turning down an offer to attend the WWE Evolution 2025 premium live event, the former Divas Champion could make her next appearance as an inductee in the Hall of Fame.

Considering her status as one of the faces of the Divas era, Kelly would be a strong addition to the WWE Hall of Fame for next year.

2. Mickie James

Mickie James recently made her return to WWE programming as a coach on the WWE LFG: Legends and Future Greats show on A&E.

The six-time WWE Women’s Champion spent two different stints with the company and was one of the faces of the Divas era.

With noteworthy matches and rivalries with the likes of Trish Stratus and Beth Phoenix, it makes sense that James is someone who has earned her spot in the WWE Hall of Fame.

With her fellow coaches for the first season of WWE LFG being part of the Hall of Fame, Mickie should be next in line to receive the honor whenever they can.

In what was a surprise to some fans, Demolition became the latest set of former stars to sign WWE Legends deals earlier this year.

The legendary duo have long been on bad terms with WWE, but things have gotten better as time has gone on.

Ax, Smash and Crush were one of the most iconic acts of the 1980s and early 1990s, while also holding the WWE Tag Team Championship three times.

Demolition belong in the WWE Hall of Fame and feel worthy of receiving the honor as soon as possible.
