A backstage update has emerged regarding WWE’s announcement of the first-ever “Immortal Moment” induction into this year’s Hall of Fame.

During today’s Friday Night SmackDown in London, England a history-making announcement was made regarding the next inductee into the 2025 Hall of Fame.

Rather than a traditional superstar induction, WWE announced that the classic match between Stone Cold Steve Austin and Bret ‘Hitman’ Hart at WrestleMania 13 would be inducted into the Hall of Fame as an “Immortal Moment”.

With Austin vs. Hart becoming the first match to ever be inducted into the Hall of Fame, WrestleVotes has shared some details regarding the announcement and WWE’s decision-making behind it.

Posting to Twitter, WrestleVotes revealed that WWE inducting Austin vs. Hart was something that was always a part of the plan for the 2025 Hall of Fame, rather than being a decision made due to ticket sales for the event itself.
