We now have an idea as to how long the speeches at the upcoming WWE Hall of Fame ceremony are going to be.

The ceremony normally lasts somewhere between 32 and 45 years, but with two whole classes being inducted this time, there was concern it could be twice as long as usual.

Well it sounds like that’s not the case, because the Bella Twins have revealed they only got between three and five minutes for their speech.

Speaking on their podcast, Brie said:

“We had a speech written, but then we realized it was too long because we’re only allowed to do our speech for three to five minutes. We wrote a 15-minute speech because usually, they are like, ’10 to 15 minutes’, then we found out they were like, ‘No, it has to be three to five minutes’. To do your Hall of Fame speech and take out that much stuff is really hard. We’re wondering like, ‘How do we condense this. What’s important? We want to thank all these people and tell stories’.”

Nikki added:

“We’ve always been grateful women and that’s where it’s difficult. The majority of our speech is thanking people and they’re like, ‘Talk more about yourself’. We’ve already proven ourselves as Hall of Famers. It’s almost like winning an Oscar. You’re thanking the people who helped you get there.”

Of course, it could be possible, and frankly it’s quite likely, that some speeches will be longer than others, so don’t necessarily expect them all to be that short.

The Hall of Fame ceremony is being taped this week and will air on Tuesday, April 6.
