I find it peculiar that Rey is getting inducted while he's still an active wrestler. In Rey's Smackdown promo, he mentioned that he wished that his son would have been on stage with him as he's inducted. This whole Rey going in the Hall of Fame reads as a plot point in the feud with Dominik.
Think back to Cena vs. Undertaker, Owens vs. Austin, or even Seth vs. Cody...these were all matches that went unannounced before hand. Rey has already said he refuses to fight his son. So there, Dominik is going to have to do something so horrendous that Rey has no choice to accept the challenge. At this point, there's no greater way to get heat than for Dom to attack his father during the Hall of Fame speech. For added measure, Dom may even shove his own mother to the ground.
What do you think? Is this Hall of Fame all leading towards Dominik interference?

There’s something with the family happening on SmackDown this week, so it may leave the Hall Of Fame as completely sincere.

I imagine they just are using it as a backdrop for the story and won't have it figure into the actual Hall of Fame.
As for inducting Rey now, I'm guessing it mostly came out of Batista being busy and them needing another headliner appropriate for the area on short notice.

I'd love for Vickie Guerrero to show up admonishing Dom only to swerve Rey and side with Judgment Day. |

I am still under the impression that the Hall of Fame ends with a Rey Mysterio beatdown and the real induction will take place years later. Plus this seems like the least hyped WWE Hall of Fame ever. |

I find it peculiar that Rey is getting inducted while he's still an active wrestler. Expect this to happen more and more. As it stands right now, WWE only has so many headliners, and even then they seem adamant that they do not want Sycho Sid and Lex Luger to be a part of the HOF. I guess it's a Randy Savage/Chyna/Vader situation where they wait till they're dead and then they induct them. But for now, they can induct one big name each year for a good while; AJ Styles Bobby Lashley Bray Wyatt Brock Lesnar Drew McIntyre John Cena The New Day Randy Orton Rhonda Rousey Roman Reigns Seth Rollins Sheamus Triple H |

Maybe Lesnar, or Orton if his injury is career threatening. The rest I'm not so sure about. |

I feel like they can easily have Dom on stage with him and just wave it away with "one night truce as a favor to mom" or something like that.

Charlotte Flair Chris Jericho C.M. Punk Cody Rhodes Daniel Bryan Dave Bautista Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson The Hardy Boyz The Usos Vincent Kennedy McMahon |

Things I want now:
-the Hall of Fame induction is all a ruse by Dom, he faked the whole thing, Rey isn't going into the Hall and Rey just fell for it (Dom worked really hard, used official letterhead, the whole thing) and no one has bothered to tell Rey yet
-Rey Misterio shows up at the induction and Dom gasps and says "My father's uncle!"
-The Wrestlemania match has the following official stipulations: if Dom wins, Rey can NEVER be inducted into the Hall of fame, if Rey wins, "Dominik, who is my son, has to become good again"

Thought they ended up handling it super well. The quick bit of Judgment Day not standing for him then walking out was a good way to acknowledge it without letting it overshadow things.
