• Another Major Name Expected For WWE Hall Of Fame 2026
WWE will head to Las Vegas for WrestleMania week for the second year in a row in April 2026, and the Hall of Fame ceremony will take place that weekend as usual.
According to Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer, John Cena is “very likely” to headline the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2026. The timing lines up with his retirement, as The GOAT is officially set to end his in-ring career in less than a month.
Cena has been WWE’s biggest star for more than two decades, winning championships, headlining WrestleManias and becoming one of the most successful crossover names in pro wrestling history. His retirement tour is now down to its final stretch.
The 17-time World Champion made his last RAW appearance at Madison Square Garden in New York last night, teaming up with Sheamus and Rey Mysterio to defeat “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio, Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh of The Judgment Day.
Cena now has only two appearances remaining. He will defend the Intercontinental Championship against Dominik Mysterio in a rematch at Survivor Series: WarGames in San Diego, and then end his legendary career at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13 in Washington, D.C., where he will face the winner of The Last Time Is Now Tournament.
The only inductee announced for next year’s Hall of Fame so far is Stephanie McMahon, who shares a long history with Cena, making next year’s class especially meaningful.

• Crazy Fact About Maxxine Dupri’s Intercontinental Title Win
On last night’s episode of WWE RAW from Madison Square Garden in New York City, Becky Lynch lost the Women’s Intercontinental Championship to Maxxine Dupri after a surprise return from AJ Lee.
Triple H tweeted the following about Maxxine’s victory: “Winning your first title from a multi-time world champion at the World’s Most Famous Arena, doesn’t get bigger than that.”
A crazy fact about Maxxine’s victory over Becky is that it was only her second pinfall win in a singles match on the WWE main roster. Her only other pinfall victory in a singles match on the main roster came in 2023, when she defeated Valhalla.
