The 2026 WWE Hall of Fame class is officially getting a “rebound” of legendary proportions. ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that NBA icon and Basketball Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this April in Las Vegas. Rodman joins a prestigious 2026 class that already includes Stephanie McMahon, AJ Styles, and the legendary tag team Demolition.
Rodman’s crossover into professional wrestling remains one of the most successful “celebrity” runs in the history of the industry. He famously made his WCW debut in 1997 as a member of the New World Order (nWo), aligning himself with “Hollywood” Hulk Hogan. His most iconic moment occurred during the 1998 NBA Finals, when he skipped a Chicago Bulls practice to fly to a wrestling match. Rodman eventually competed in a massive main event at the 1998 WCW Bash at the Beach, teaming with Hogan against Diamond Dallas Page and NBA rival Karl Malone.
