Overview
- Paul “Triple H” Levesque announced the posthumous induction Tuesday on social media, naming Sid Eudy to WWE’s 2026 Hall of Fame Legacy Class.
- The induction ceremony is scheduled for Friday, April 17 at Dolby Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas as part of WrestleMania 42 weekend.
- Eudy was a two-time WWE Champion and a two-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion, and he headlined WrestleMania in 1992 against Hulk Hogan and in 1997 against The Undertaker.
- He died of cancer on August 26, 2024 at age 63 after a 2001 leg fracture in WCW effectively ended his top-tier in-ring career.
- He joins AJ Styles, Demolition, Stephanie McMahon and Dennis Rodman in the 2026 class, while many fans on X criticized the posthumous timing even though the Legacy wing often honors figures after their passing.
