With just over two months to go before WrestleMania 42 weekend, it appears John Cena will not be part of this year’s WWE Hall of Fame Class.
On Thursday’s Wrestlevotes Radio on Fightful Select, they stated as such and that Stephanie McMahon is expected to be this year’s headliner with another Immortal Moment expected as well. As of now, McMahon has been the only announced inductee.
Cena wrapped up his final year as an in-ring competitor last December in a losing effort to Gunther on Saturday Night’s Main Event, adding to speculation that perhaps Cena would be inducted this year. Next year’s WrestleMania will head to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for the first time ever which might be the landing spot for his eventual induction.
As was the case last year, WWE WrestleMania 42 will emanate from Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium on Saturday, April 18 and Sunday, April 19. The details for the Hall of Fame ceremony have yet to be announced.
