WWE fans look forward to WrestleMania weekend every year which features exciting matchups featuring the top WWE superstars, alongside the WWE Hall of Fame inductions. With WrestleMania 39 set to be held this weekend on April 1 and 2, the Hall of Fame Class of 2023 inductions will take place after the Friday Night SmackDown episode on Friday, March 31. Interestingly, WWE revealed the first superstar who will be added to the Hall of Fame, earlier this week.
WWE announced Rey Mysterio to be the first Hall of Fame inductee in the Class of 2023. “The Master of the 619 has had an illustrious career, having notable encounters in not only WWE but also ECW, AAA, CMLL, NJPW, and WCW. In WWE, he won numerous accolades, including the 2006 Royal Rumble, the World Heavyweight Championship twice, and the WWE Championship once. He is also a Triple Crown and Grand Slam Champion. Mysterio had an abundance of memorable moments and rivalries, including his battles with Eddie Guerrero, Batista, Kurt Angle, Cody Rhodes, and Edge, to name a few,” WWE said congratulating the 48-year-old superstar.
WWE later announced The Great Muta, Andy Kaufman and Stay Keibler to be the other former superstars to feature in the list of Hall of Fame inductees. It is worth noting that Rey Mysterio will be facing his son Dominik Mysterio at the much-anticipated premium live event.
