The WWE honours the company's wrestlers, personnel and celebrities with connection to the wrestling promotion every year as appreciation for their past services and achievements in the form of WWE Hall of Fame.
The tradition of WWE Hall of Fame started in 1993, when Andre the Giant was posthumously inducted into the WWF Individual class via a video package. The following two editions in 1994 and 1995 were held during the King of the Ring pay-per-view event.

The 1996 ceremony, however, was held along side the Survivor Series event before the Hall of Fame went on an eight-year hiatus and returned after the company was renamed to WWE.
From 2004, Hall of Fame ceremony has been held during the WrestleMania with parts of induction ceremony being aired on television from 2005, and since 2014, the entire ceremonies have been aired on the WWE Network.
As it stands, there have been 241 inductees, including 129 Individuals, 46 Legacy, 19 Groups (53 wrestlers within those 19 groups) and 12 Celebrity inductees. Among the 241, eight wrestlers have been inducted twice, individually and as part of a tag team or group.
Meanwhile, from 2015 the WWE started giving away the Warrior Award every year for those who embodied the indomitable spirit of the Ultimate Warrior. And there are 8 Warrior Award recipients so far. However, they don't feature in WWE HOF gallery. Here is the full list of WWE Hall of Fame from 1993 to 2025:
