The man who will inducted Paul Heyman into the WWE Hall of Fame this Friday was revealed during the April 1, episode of WWE Monday Night Raw. 

Heyman was the first name announced for this year's class of Hall of Fame inductees. The honor is richly deserved given Heyman's success in multiple roles in the world of wrestling. Heyman has served as a manager, a producer, a promoter, and as a member of WWE's creative team throughout his lengthy career. 

Paul Heyman's WWE Hall of Fame Inductor

During a backstage segment on the April 1, episode of WWE Monday Night Raw, Heyman, The Rock, and Roman Reigns were seen conversing. Reigns had to leave early to work on his 'speech' for the Wise Man. Heyman then made clear to anyone who hadn't figured it out that Reigns would be inducting him into the WWE Hall of Fame.

Heyman is hardly the only notable name to make up this year's class of WWE Hall of Famers. The US Express will also be inducted this year, the only tag team as part of the 2024 class. Bull Nakano was announced as a WWE Hall of Fame inductee. The Japanese star is a former WWE Women's Champion and is currently the commissioner for the all-women's Sukeban promotion. 

Thunderbolt Patterson has also been confirmed as an inductee. The late Muhammed Ali will be posthumously inducted for his contributions to the world of Sports Entertainment. 

The final inductee is Lia Maivia, one of the first female wrestling promoters and a trailblazer in her own right. Her induction was announced by her grandson The Rock and will come 16 years after her husband 'High Chief' Peter Maivia was inducted in 2008.
