Jim Cornette WWE Return Update

WWE

Amid continued announcements of the 2025 WWE Hall of Fame inductees, questions regarding Jim Cornette’s status with WWE came up.

Jim Cornette is a name currently missing from the Hall of Fame, despite many names within the industry, including Stone Cold Steve Austin, pushing for him to be inducted.

Regarding a possible WWE return for Cornette, Fightful Select reports that his name hasn’t come up in creative discussions in “recent years”.

The report specifies that this isn’t in a “we aren’t bringing him in” way, just that the belief within the company is that Cornette is successful and content with his current projects.

Cornette hosts two weekly podcasts – the Drive Thru and the Experience – in which he reviews WWE and AEW shows, as well as discussing topical news from around the industry.

Cornette was on hand in 2017 to induct the The Rock ‘N’ Roll Express into the WWE Hall of Fame, but hasn’t made any appearances for the company since then.

During the WWE ThunderDome shows in the pandemic, a collection of banned fan signs/images emerged that featured Cornette’s face logo.

There have been two members of the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2025 announced thus far – Triple H and Michelle McCool.
