WWE Hall of Fame preview: UK start time, inductees, live stream and more
It’s WrestleMania week – and that means it’s time for the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony.
Last year’s event was sadly cancelled due to the the pandemic, but it’s back this time round with two classes of inductees set to take their place in history.
There are some huge legends – literally and figuratively – set to be honoured on tonight’s special, even after news Dave Bautista’s own induction has been delayed until fans can be in attendance.
Throw in the small matter of the celebrity wing, and there’s a lot to get excited about tonight, even with what could be a more streamlined ceremony than we’re used to.
With that said, we’ve put together a handy guide with everything you need to know.
Here’s what’s on tap tonight…
When is WWE Hall of Fame 2021?
The WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony takes place on tonight (Tuesday, April 6) with everything getting underway at 1am for fans in the UK.
How can you watch WWE Hall of Fame 2021?
There’s no ThunderDome application for this one, with crowd reactions instead recording during a recent TV event, so the only way is to tune in.
For fans in the UK, you can watch by either streaming live or watching on demand via the WWE Network.
WWE Hall of Fame 2020 and 2021 inductees

What can you expect from WWE Hall of Fame 2021?
Well, speeches, smiles and plenty of laughs!
It will be strange without a live audience of fans there, although some people have been calling for WWE to strip things back and let the night be about the wrestlers.
Given that there’ll be two classes getting inducted, it’s expected that the speeches could streamlined to fit everyone in, particularly with the special airing live on Peacock in the US.
Regardless of the setting, the event itself is always special and fans will be delighted to see some of the all time greats get honoured and reflect on their careers.
It’s sure to go down as one of the most unique ceremonies of all time!
