Future Hall of Fame headliners that are left?

[rocnsoc88]

Honestly, the potential headliners for the next few years are starting to get awfully thin, unless there’s a few people I’m forgetting. The only people that come to mind that are really obvious:

The Rock
The Undertaker
John Cena
Brock Lesnar

Triple H would qualify as well, but that would be a little awkward with him running the company. Anyone else? Daniel Bryan if he’s made to retire again maybe?

EDIT: The picture on the post below made me realize CM Punk would be a great headliner, but that’s obviously depending on if they can patch things up. And that’s a mighty big “if”.

British Bulldog obviously but they are saving him for the Wrestlemania in U.K. Clearly!

Rock, Taker, Cena, Lesnar, Bryan, Triple H, Kane, Orton, Punk, at this point basically the Shield guys, Big Show, Mysterio, possibly RVD...

Really there's no shortage.

An induction like dx or nwo could headline if not co-headline like 4 horsemen.

Batista

I'd add Chris Jericho to the list (reference not initially intended, but totally welcome) as well. I can also see them trying with Batista, Paul Heyman and, if it's a year big on fan favorites (Kane, Molly Holly, etc) but short on "mainstream names," Cindy Lauper. Out of the people still working:


Daniel Bryan
AJ Styles
The Shield
The New Day
The Miz

[Milkman Norm]

Undertaker
Brock
HHH
Rock
Batista
Rey
Jericho
DX
Kane

[Slanted and Enchanted]

I think the WWE can easily find someone to headline for the next 10 years. And hopefully in these next 10 years you'll have built up 10 more headliners and so on. I think many people feel that there is no one left due to all the big names from WWF/WCW having headlined but there will be plenty of wrestlers in the future HoF ceremonies worthy of headlining, it's just that they're not representative of the hottest eras of wrestling anymore.

Yeah? I have no memory of this haha. What a dummy.

[Crappler El 0 M]

The Rock
Undertaker
Batista
John Cena
Triple H
Brock Lesnar
Daniel Bryan

If they are in a pinch, they can go with these as headliners:
Kane
Big Show
Chris Jericho
Rey Mysterio

[Alice Syndrome]

CHYNA.

There are a few big ones right now, many of which have been listed, but I think by the time they hit the obvious ones some of the current vets will retire, and that will provide some more headliners going forward.

Looking into the 2020s as a whole, there are a lot of big names that could either headline or co-headline:

-Vince McMahon
-Randy Orton
-John Cena
-HHH
-Undertaker
-Daniel Bryan
-AJ Styles
-Rey Mysterio
-The Rock
-Kane
-CM Punk (stranger things have happened)
-Batista
-Brock Lesnar
-Chris Jericho
-Big Show

Not counting guys like Nakamura and Joe who are getting up there in age but could still do some pretty major things in the next few years. There are also noteworthy people who may not headline like RVD/Christian/Vader, people who have passed on like Chyna/Liz/Bulldog, and other 'attraction' draws that wouldn't headline but would get WWE outside exposure like The Bellas and celebs that could qualify.

A posthumous one is never going to close the show. It'd be nothing but sending the night out on a downer.

The Bellas fall in that awkward territory where I'd say Nikki warrants a solo induction but Brie should really only get one as a pair.

Decent chance neither does Mick Foley.
