WWE Reveals the first inductee in the Hall of Fame Class of 2021

WWE has confirmed that the Hall of Fame Ceremony will take place this year, and the company revealed that the first inductee in this year's class will be Molly Holly.

The WWE Hall of Fame is home to some of the most outstanding performers in the industry. It is arguably the highest honor any WWE wrestler can receive in their career. Now, Mighty Molly has earned her way into this group of iconic wrestlers.

On the newest episode of WWE's The Bump, Shane Helms and Molly Holly appeared on the show, and Helms told Holly that she's the first inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2021.

It was an emotional moment for Holly, as the WWE legend broke down into tears as soon as she received the announcement. She had only a few words to say in this emotional moment.

"Thank you so much. Oh my gosh this is just incredible. Thank you. I don't know what to say."

Molly Holly is a former two-time WWE Women's Champion, and she also held the Hardcore Championship. She was a prominent member of the WWE roster from 2000-2005.

The WWE Hall of Fame ceremony is set to take on April 6

Earlier on the same episode of The Bump, Kayla Braxton stated that the Hall of Fame ceremony will be held on April 6, 2021, and it will be available for streaming on Peacock.

This year's Hall of Fame ceremony will honor both the Class of 2020 and the Class of 2021. Last year, the COVID-19 pandemic forced WWE to postpone the Hall of Fame ceremony indefinitely.

The WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2020 features Batista, Jushin "Thunder" Liger, John Bradshaw Layfield, The British Bulldog, the New World Order and the Bella Twins. WWE will probably announce more members of this year's class in the coming weeks.

While Edge was a despised villain for the majority of his first run with WWE, Zain loved his commitment to the character. He admired his ability to narrate a compelling story with his subtle moves and actions inside the ring. He believes no one in the business has come close to the Hall of Famer in terms of staying true to their on-screen gimmick.

If Zain were to book an eye-catching WWE angle, he would pit Cody Rhodes against CM Punk. Zain would have Rhodes highlight Punk’s hypocrisy in coming back to the global juggernaut. Their interaction would lead to Punk turning heel and engaging in a high-profile match with The American Nightmare at a Big Four Premium Live Event.

When not writing, Zain loves to read philosophy, play chess, where he has represented his country at the national level.
