WWE Hall of Fame (2019) is the event that featured the introduction of the twentieth class to the WWE Hall of Fame. The event was produced by WWE on April 6, 2019 from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The event took place the same weekend as WrestleMania 35.
Background[]
On February 18, 2019, WWE announced their first inductees to the 2019 Hall of Fame class, D-Generation X. Although other members have been part of the group, only Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Chyna, Road Dogg, Billy Gunn, and X-Pac will be included as part of the induction. D-Generation X originally had been planned to be inducted into the 2013 Hall of Fame class, but plans were scrapped after Bruno Sammartino agreed to be inducted. With D-Generation X's induction, Shawn Michaels will join Ric Flair as the only two-time inductee, following his 2011 induction. Following Chyna's death in 2016 many industry stalwarts, such as Stone Cold Steve Austin and Mick Foley, spoke out in favor of Chyna being included in the Hall of Fame; but she had been repeatedly excluded until 2019 due to her venture into pornography following the end of her professional wrestling career.
On February 26, The Honky Tonk Man was announced as the first individual inductee for the 2019 Hall of Fame ceremony. On March 3, Torrie Wilson was announced as the first female individual inductee for the 2019 Hall of Fame ceremony.
