Dennis Rodman is set to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as part of the class of 2026.
According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Dennis Rodman will join AJ Styles, Demolition and Stephanie McMahon in this year’s class, with the ceremony scheduled for WrestleMania 42 weekend in Las Vegas.
Rodman’s involvement in professional wrestling dates back to 1997, when he appeared in WCW alongside Hollywood Hulk Hogan as part of the New World Order. He made his in-ring debut at Bash at the Beach that year, teaming with Hogan in a match against Lex Luger and The Giant.
He returned to the event in 1998, again teaming with Hogan, this time against Karl Malone and Diamond Dallas Page in a high-profile celebrity tag match that drew significant mainstream attention. Rodman and Hogan secured the victory.
Rodman also played a role at Road Wild 1997, appearing as an impostor Sting and attacking Luger to assist Hogan in capturing the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. In 1999, he competed against Randy Savage in a match at Road Wild following a brief feud.
