ESPN has confirmed that NBA legend Dennis Rodman is the next inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame.
Rodman made multiple appearances and worked several matches in during the late 1990’s as a member of the nWo, specifically teaming with Hulk Hogan at Bash at the Beach 1997 and 1998. He and Hogan wrestled against NBA legend Karl Malone and Diamond Dallas Page at the Bash at the Beach 98, which garnered much mainstream media attention, as Rodman skipped a practice with the Chicago Bulls to wrestle in that match.
Rodman made a few appearances for AEW, specifically at the 2023 All Out pay-per-view in Chicago with being in the corner of The Acclaimed.
He now joins Stephanie McMahon, AJ Styles and Demolition (Ax & Smash) as part of the 2026 WWE Hall of Fame Class.
The 2026 WWE Hall of Fame will take place on Friday, April 17 from the Dolby Live following SmackDown and will air live on ESPN Unlimited in the US and Netflix for international fans.
