The third inductee of the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2015 is going to be announced on Monday’s Raw, according to WWE.com.

“Macho Man” Randy Savage would appear to be the headliner of the class, joined by this year’s addition to the celebrity wing, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Who is set to join them? WWE.com isn’t giving anything away. They had this to say:

"This as-yet-unnamed WWE Legend will join “Macho Man” Randy Savage and Celebrity Inductee Arnold Schwarzenegger in this year’s elite group of icons, to be honored at the WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony the night before WrestleMania 31. Will this 2015 WWE Hall of Famer be from WWE’s Attitude Era? Is it a groundbreaking WWE Diva? Or is it perhaps a fan-favorite competitor from ECW, WCW or another classic promotion?"

Let’s look at some potential answers to those three questions.

First, an inductee from the Attitude Era could potentially be one of two Samoans. Rikishi has been rumored, and would obviously work because he is still somewhat involved with the company, with his sons being the top tag team. Plus, he is from San Francisco, which is not far from the site of WrestleMania 31.

It could also be The Rock. The Rock is such a big star that he could go in any year and be the biggest star in the class.

Second, the “groundbreaking Diva” could be either Mickie James or Victoria. James doesn’t make much sense, as she is still involved with TNA, though that may not be for long, according to F4WOnline.com. While Victoria is from California, like Rikishi, and she appears to be looking to move back there.

Finally, a fan-favorite competitor from a classic promotion, which could be Ray Stevens, who is a wrestling legend in the San Francisco-area. Stevens also has the backing of another San Francisco legend, and influential name in WWE, Pat Patterson.

Kevin Nash could fit in as a fan-favorite from WCW, since his name has been rumored, but his time in WWE doesn’t really qualify him for that, and he wasn’t really part of the Attitude Era, so he might not fit in for this announcement.

All those names have been rumored to be part of this year’s class, according to F4WOnline.

I think the most likely person to be inducted is Victoria. Now would be a good time for a Diva inductee, in order to break up the announcements.

After Victoria, Stevens could be announced within the next three weeks, then Rikishi could quickly follow, and they could save Nash or Rock for a big final announcement, just when they are ready to release another wave of tickets.
