Who's being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2025 - leading light of Diva era named as second inducteeDAZN

As the road to WrestleMania continues through Elimination Chamber, one of the annual events that is part of WWE's biggest weekend is the Hall of Fame evening. 

Each year, WWE honours a selection of its former Superstars by inducting them into their prestigious Hall of Fame on WrestleMania weekend. 

Let's take a look at who is getting their flowers ahead of WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas this spring. 


The WWE Hall of Fame class of 2025 

Paul 'Triple H' Levesque 

The first name announced for this year's class, and the man who will headline the 2025 group, is the current Chief Content Officer of WWE, Paul Levesque, more commonly known as Triple H. 

Trips' does already have a Hall of Fame ring, having been inducted as part of D-Generation X's inclusion in 2021, but will become a two-time inductee this year - and it's long overdue. 

He debuted in WWE in 1995 as 'Hunter Hurst Helmsley' but would soon transition into Triple H and become one of the most iconic Superstars of the era. From the formation of DX to becoming a 14-time world champion, 'The Game' was the perfect evil foil to the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin, Mick Foley and most notably, The Rock. 

Yet, it might be in his post-wrestling career that Triple could find himself being even more revered. As the main man behind the curtain, a large portion of WWE's recent surge has been down to the sucess that he's brought behind the scenes - and that's only just getting started.

Michelle McCool 

The Callaway household will consist of two Hall of Famers this Spring after Michelle McCool, wife to WWE legend the Undertaker, was named as the second inductee into the 2025 class. 

McCool's big break thanks to the company's 2004 Diva Search, and although she didn't win the competition, she would help define the 'Diva' era perhaps more so than any other female. 

She made her main roster debut in 2006, and although she struggled to make an impact in her early days, by 2008 it was McCool who became WWE's first-ever Divas Champion and it was with that title her career skyrocketed. 

Alongside Layla, the duo of 'Laycool' dominated the women's division - even sharing the Diva's title - and enjoyed memorable feuds against the likes of Natalya, Victoria and Kelly Kelly. 

McCool retired as a four-time world champion and has since made special one-off appearances in three women's Royal Rumbles - the last coming in 2023.
