To say that the WWE SmackDown and RAW locker rooms comprise some of the most talented men and women in the history of the company is not hyperbole. And in time, they shall pave the path for the next generation of WWE SmackDown and RAW stars, when they step into the WWE Hall of Fame.
In fact, if you look at the current WWE SmackDown and RAW rosters, it is pretty easy to pick a whole bunch of names that would qualify for this esteemed feat. We've identified 7 individuals that are surefire entries into this esteemed body of top WWE Superstars, and we welcome you to name more men and women who would follow.
#7 Current WWE SmackDown megastar Rey Mysterio is almost guaranteed to enter the WWE Hall of Fame someday soon
Seth Rollins caught up with Sportskeeda to talk about his fellow WWE SmackDown colleague, Rey Mysterio, in a recent interview. And yes, he actually broke character to heap praise on the WWE SmackDown star. This is what Seth Rollins had to say about Rey Mysterio
"I mean he’s just defied the odds his entire career. For someone of his stature to have made as many waves in WWE, there’s nobody even close. It’s not even close. He’s unparalleled. He’s genuinely one of a kind. There are a bunch of guys, Seth Rollins sized, that you can look back on that have done my style and done my thing and made a success here in WWE. There is literally one person. Literally one person has done it the way that Rey Mysterio has done it."
There is no better testimonial for why Rey Mysterio deserves to be in the WWE Hall of Fame. It's just a question of when, and not 'if'.
#6 We all know that Jeff Hardy from WWE RAW will go into the WWE Hall of Fame
The WWE RAW roster is so very loaded right now that Jeff Hardy is just one of the many Superstars mixing it up in the brand. At this point in time, he is working with Elias in a heated feud, but honestly, Jeff Hardy wrestles like he's 24 even now, and has a lot to give to the business by working with the younger talent in the WWE RAW roster, all of whom can benefit from his wisdom and expertise.
Yes, everything he has accomplished in the tag team division with his brother and also everything he's achieved as a singles star are both collectively enough to earn him a place in the WWE Hall of Fame someday.
However, what is overlooked often is that the modern style of wrestling that we see on the RAW and WWE SmackDown rosters owe a debt of gratitude to the Hardy Boyz for the titanic matches that they had with Edge & Christian and The Dudleyz.
#5 Randy Orton is virtually guaranteed to be in the WWE Hall of Fame someday soon
When Sportskeeda caught up with Randy Orton, he said that he wants to keep wrestling for ten more years. His sheer longevity in the business, wrestling as a top guy for the last two decades, and the fact that he continues to wrestle at such a high level even now pretty much guarantee him a spot in the WWE Hall of Fame soon. Who may induct him into the WWE Hall of Fame is a tougher question to answer than whether or not he will be inducted.
This is what the future WWE Hall of Famer told Sportskeeda Wrestling:
"I’ve been doing this twenty years and I’ll do this another decade. I just turned 40 and my plan would be to keep going till my 50th birthday."
There are many in the WWE Hall of Fame who have been inducted for far fewer accomplishments than the legendary Randy Orton. While he may specialize in killing legends, unbeknownst to him, he's become one himself.
#4 Charlotte Flair has paved the way for so many women that her spot in the WWE Hall of Fame is almost guaranteed
While her father Ric Flair has been a part of the WWE Hall of Fame twice, for his singles career and being a member of The Four Horsemen stable, Charlotte Flair's achievements could well eclipse those of Ric Flair in due time.
Charlotte Flair is already considered to be the greatest female Superstar in the history of the company and because of the number of reigns she's had, some have even said that she could be the first to overtake her father, maybe even before Randy Orton does.
As a 12-time Women's Champion Charlotte Flair is certainly a surefire entrant into the WWE Hall of Fame because she is far more accomplished than almost every other female superstar in the esteemed collective.
And because she has several good years left in her, this is just the beginning of what could be the greatest individual run in the illustrious and chequered history of WWE.
#1, 2, and 3 All three positions belong to The New Day, who are split between WWE SmackDown and RAW right now
While Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods are the RAW Tag Team Champions at the moment, Big E is currently in the midst of a massive singles push in the WWE SmackDown roster. To say that this time, divided between RAW and WWE SmackDown is the most important faction of our generation is not an understatement, for a wide variety of reasons.
Not only does their record speak for themselves, with them holding the record for being the longest-reigning tag team champions as well as 10 stints with the Championship, but Kofi Kingston also made history as a singles Superstar when he captured the WWE Championship from Daniel Bryan.
Yes, Kingston may be on RAW at the moment, but Big E is pretty much guaranteed to have a singles run that equals or even overshadows the one Kofi Kingston had on WWE SmackDown.
The New Day are surefire WWE Hall of Famers down the line.
