There is one scheduled, yes. Rumors have actually been going around about this year's potential celebrity inductee. {Spoiler}You guessed it, Frank Sylvester Stallone.

Surely, it’s about time for Batista to get his long awaited induction.

I can see them putting in the Wyatt Family, Natural Disasters, Slick, Mike Rotundo (though it would be weird to be inducted the same year as his son), Bam Bam Bigelow, Batista as headliner, and Motorhead as the celeb induction. Nothing too controversial there (heck, you could even give Bigelow the Warrior Award for that time he saved those kids from a fire).

Mongo getting inducted individually before he dies would be great. Just a shame he'd never be able to accept the honor in person due to his current health. I guess his wife would accept it on his behalf.

I guess his wife would accept it on his behalf. They could do it via satellite if that would be easier for them. Anyway, I know since it's technically a bonus for smackdown ticket buyers and not a seperate event, there hasn't been much urgency to announce the class and headliner as early as they used to. But we are now in March, and we haven't heard a damn thing.

There's rumours on social media that WWE trying to get Sylvestor Stallone inducted this year, given his connections to Philly.
I do hope this is true.

Absolutely deserving. Say what you will about him as a promoter or a businessman (and there is plenty to say), he's one of the most important on-screen figures in wrestling history. He helped guide along a young Undertaker and Steve Austin in WCW; he created ECW which helped to revolutionize and modernize an industry that was still relying on decade-old tropes and cartoonish gimmicks, paving the way for the Attitude Era; he was one of the best color commentators WWF has ever had; he brought legitimacy to Brock Lesnar - I don't know if Lesnar gets over in his first run without Heyman; he was the needed mouthpiece for Lesnar when he returned in 2013; and he helped cement Roman Reigns' heel turn in 2020.

Unrelated to anything, the ecw theme song is a banger

Wonder how they’ll get around mentioning Brock considering he played a huge role in a big chunk of Heyman’s career.
Going to be an all timer of a speech though.

Heyman is well-deserving of the HOF, just wondering who would induct him.

Awkward timing for a couple of reasons but he absolutely deserves it. I wonder who will induct him? Roman? Punk? Steve Austin? Someone from his ecw days. Lots of possibilities. I think it definitely would have been Brock any other year.
