Timeline of the Undertaker's Hall of Fame induction revealed - Reports
WWE announced this week that The Undertaker will be inducted into the Hall of Fame Class of 2022.

The tweet read:
"The Undertaker is being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. Internally, this has been solidified since well before Royal Rumble. It couldn't be anyone else."
