WWE Hall of Fame 2017: Full Inductees List
The WWE Hall of Fame 2017 ceremony is Friday night. Check out the full list of new inductees into the latest class.
WrestleMania 33 weekend is upon us and the festivities kick off tonight with the WWE Hall of Fame 2017 ceremony. This will take place at the Amway Center in Orlando, FL.
The WWE Hall of Fame ceremony is a terrific start to the WrestleMania events of the weekend. The ceremony serves as a gathering of WWE’s stars of today and yesteryear. The ceremony serves as the one time in the year where superstars leave their characters in the hotel rooms and simply enjoy the moment. There certainly will be plenty of memorable moments on Friday night.
The highlight of this year’s ceremony will be the homecoming of Kurt Angle. After spending several years with TNA, Angle has begun the process of returning to his true home in WWE. Angle headlines the 2017 WWE Hall of Fame Class. While nothing has been confirmed, the expectation is that Angle will return to WWE programming in some capacity. Angle is reportedly scheduled to appear on the Raw after WrestleMania 33 as well as SmackDown Live.
Another noteworthy return is the return of former Monday Night Raw general manager Eric Bischoff. Bischoff is set to induct Diamond Dallas Paige into the WWE Hall of Fame. Considering Paige’s connections with WCW and WWE, Bischoff was the logical choice.
Here is the complete list of the 2017 inductees into the WWE Hall of Fame.
- Kurt Angle
- The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express
- Theodore Long
- Diamond Dallas Paige
- Beth Phoenix
- “Ravishing” Rick Rude
- Former Rutgers football player Eric LeGrand will receive the Warrior Award.
