4 Stars who could induct Bray Wyatt into the WWE Hall of Fame if it happens in 2025
A WWE legend whose Hall of Fame induction is being anticipated with bated breath is the late Bray Wyatt. The former WWE Champion and two-time Universal Champion remains one of the most celebrated superstars in the history of the Stamford-based promotion. Bray Wyatt passed away at the age of 36, leaving his family, friends, and fans heartbroken.
He wasn't just a great wrestler, but a skilled performer whose portrayal of the demonic character of The Fiend remains one of the best in the company's history. He had previously upped the bar of a villainous character as the leader of The Wyatt Family.
Bray Wyatt's Hall of Fame induction was expected to happen in 2024, but it was reportedly delayed as WWE released a documentary titled, “Bray Wyatt: Becoming Immortal” early this year. Now, all eyes are on next year's HoF event, where the late legend might finally be given the honor he deserves. Here are four superstars who can induct Bray Wyatt into the HoF.
#4. 10-time WWE Champion Randy Orton
It would be a surreal moment if Bray Wyatt's former WWE tag team partner inducted him into the Hall of Fame. The Viper allied with Bray Wyatt as part of the Wyatt Family, winning the SmackDown Tag Team Championship, and later feuded with him. The two had dual WrestleMania encounters. At WrestleMania 33, Orton beat Wyatt to win the WWE Championship, while at WrestleMania 37, Orton beat The Fiend to seal victory.
The two would most likely have worked in the future and put on some great matches had Bray Wyatt been there. Their on-screen chemistry also was a huge hit among fans. So, Orton inducting Bray Wyatt into the HoF and giving a memorable speech for his late friend would be a moment to cherish for the fans.
#3. Braun Strowman
While he wasn't part of The Wyatt Family initially, he was brought into the group by Bray Wyatt in 2015. That's when the real growth of Strowman started, as the four of them would go on to wreak havoc in the company.
He walked out of the group in 2016 and, a few years later, feuded with Bray Wyatt for the Universal Championship. At SummerSlam 2020, The Fiend (Bray Wyatt's alter-ego) defeated Strowman to win the Universal Championship.
It's believed that Strowman's storylines with Bray Wyatt simply brought out the best in the Monster of All Men. It would be a heartwarming moment if the 41-year-old former ally of Bray Wyatt inducted him into the HoF.
#2. Bo Dallas (Uncle Howdy)
Who could be better than Bray Wyatt's brother inducting him into the HoF? As Uncle Howdy, Bo Dallas had a brief but scintillating tenure on TV with Bray Wyatt. However, their union was cut short as Bray Wyatt was taken off TV due to illness.
However, he returned with the gimmick in June 2024 and brought along all the characters of Wyatt's "Firefly Fun House" in the Wyatt Sicks group. Dallas is doing his best to keep the legacy of Bray Wyatt intact, and it would be an emotional moment for him if he inducted his brother into the HoF.
#1. 16-time WWE Champion John Cena
John Cena might be the best person to induct Bray Wyatt into the HoF. The 16-time WWE Champion will kickstart his retirement tour next year, and he might reserve next year's WrestleMania for Bray Wyatt. Cena had words of praise on his X/Twitter account after the late superstar's documentary was released this year.
"Windham Rotunda was many things to this world. A son, father, brother, an artist. And what will forever remain with us is his passion. His art, in every creative sense, will be an eternal reminder to us of how truly incredible he was," John Cena wrote on X/Twitter.
John Cena, in the documentary, reminisced about their Firefly Fun House match at WrestleMania 36. It wasn't their only encounter at WrestleMania. The two had another bout at WrestleMania 30, where Cena defeated Wyatt.
John Cena has earlier inducted Kurt Angle into the HoF, and it would be an endearing moment if he did the same for Bray Wyatt. It remains to be seen if WWE will announce Bray Wyatt's name for the HoF in 2025 and who gets to do the honors of inducting him into it.
