The WWE Hall of Fame is an event organized by the WWE to give respect to the professional wrestling personalities shown in the WWE. This year, the event was organized in Winchester, Nevada, at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas. Notably, it was scheduled to be held on April 18, 2025, a day before WrestleMania 41.
Now, let’s take a look on what are the possible reasons for the sudden criticism faced by the WWE after the ceremony of Hall of Fame.
Changes in the Hall Of Fame Ceremony, why?
The current format of the WWE Hall of Fame is highly criticized and disliked by several people. According to them, there must be changes in the length or the time slot of the Hall of Fame ceremony. This is because the ceremony took place right after the Smackdown ended and continued for about 3 hours. According to the reports of Fightful Select, the ceremony didn’t begin until 1 AM ET or 10 PM PT.
Under these circumstances, the WWE is said to be considering major changes in the ceremony for WrestleMania 41. One compelling aspect is that the WWE has not done any promotion for the Hall of Fame ceremony for WrestleMania 41. It is predicted that next year, there will be changes in the time slot of the ceremony.

The WWE mentioned the names highlighted in the WWE Hall of Fame, which include The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Diamond Dallas Page, and CM Punk. Shawn Michaels was found being emotional, talking about his longtime friend Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque.
Shawn Michaels also brought up the inconvenient timings and the extended time of the ceremony. They too, feel the need to revise the format of the ceremony, taking in note of the low attendance during the event.
Although the new venue and timings are not yet confirmed, it looks like the WWE is going to make major changes in the WrestleMania 41 structure.
Conclusion
Despite the backlash, WWE has successfully created a legacy to honour the personalities who contributed to the sports entertainment. The Hall of Fame reunites friends and old teams to give nostalgia to the wrestling personalities and the fans. No doubt, it has preserved its history and the never-forgotten moments. It gives us the moments off-stage and allows us to be ourselves. With the passing time, the WWE is making spontaneous efforts to improvise and contribute to the sports industry.
