WWE WrestleMania 40: Update on plans about Bray Wyatt and legends’ appearances

With the WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony taking place before WrestleMania 40, there have been rumours of Bray Wyatt possibly joining the prestigious club as a much-deserved candidate after his tragic death, last year.

But WWE won't be inducting Bray Wyatt into the Hall of Fame this year as they have plans to honor his legacy during WrestleMania 40 week. This comes after WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H revealed that a documentary on Wyatt will be released on Peacock on April 1.

"Windham Rotunda had a brilliant mind. There was no wall he wouldn't break down in the name of storytelling. You had no choice but to believe in him. He was just that good," wrote HHH in his post on X.

This new documentary will be narrated by Bray Wyatt's WrestleMania 31 opponent, The Undertaker. The two also collided at the latter's 25th WWE anniversary at Survivor Series 2015. Plus, Wyatt was also considered to be 'Taker's successor.

As for further updates from WWE Hall of Fame 2024, Lia Maivia will likely be inducted into the class while Wyatt has reportedly been opted out of it as the company went through some back-and-forth discussion about it.

"Regarding rumors of Bray Wyatt, obviously he was on the list at one point but it's not planned, or at least wasn't as of yesterday. The impression I was given is that he will be put in soon," suggested The Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

The 2024 class has some intriguing names in the rich history of WWE. Starting with Paul Heyman, the follow-up confirmations have Bull Nakano, The U.S. Express, Mohammad Ali, and Thunderbolt Patterson as the inductees.

WWE Hall of Fame 2024 is scheduled for a night before WrestleMania Saturday following Friday Night SmackDown. Apart from that night, several Legends & Veterans are scheduled to appear at the Show of Shows, according to PWInsider.
