In a recent video posted by WWE India, The Great Khali's friend and manager, Ranjin Singh, announced that Khali will be inducted into the 2021 WWE Hall of Fame.

"You're going into the 2021 WWE Hall of Fame class. Hey, congratulations, Khali. You are one of the next inductees into the 2021 WWE Hall of Fame. I am so happy and so proud to give you this news."

The Indian-born star will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame on April 6, 2021.

Meanwhile, during this week's episode of WWE's The Bump, Kane was featured as a guest. During the interview, The Undertaker appeared on the screen. Towards the end of their discussion, The Phenom revealed that Kane will be inducted into the 2021 WWE Hall of Fame.

"It is truly my honor to announce that you, Kane, will be the next inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame, the class of 2021. Well deserved, much earned, and couldn't be more proud of you, brother."

Kane seemed quite emotional over this announcement, as The Undertaker even said, "There is no Hall of Fame without Kane."

This year, the WWE Hall of Fame will include inductees from both the 2020 and 2021 classes. The 2020 class currently features:

  • The nWo (Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, and Sean Waltman)
  • The Bella Twins

  • The British Bulldog

In addition to Kane and The Great Khali, the 2021 class so far includes Molly Holly and Eric Bischoff as well.


#4 "It's embarrassing" - Jim Ross on Chyna's WWE WrestleMania 17 match

During an episode of 'Grilling JR' with Jim Ross and host Conrad Thompson, the two men discussed WrestleMania 17.

At the pay-per-view, Chyna earned her first and only women's title victory in WWE against Ivory. They both wrestled in a squash match at WrestleMania 17 that lasted less than three minutes.

Jim Ross recently expressed his disappointment over the match and called it "totally unprofessional."

"It's embarrassing. You don't go to WrestleMania, you're going to win the title in front of 67,000+ people, and you don't put out the effort that the match, the place, the time, and the opponent deserved. Totally unprofessional, in my view."
"And these shows are challenging to do, Conrad, because so often we're speaking of those who are no longer with us, and I have a hard time with that, quite frankly. It sure didn't sound like you did? You just went and called out Chyna, my favorite. Look at the evidence, your honor. Look at the evidence."

JR also thought that the match being short was its saving grace. During the bout's finish, Chyna just rested her back over Ivory, which Ross thought was quite lazy and disrespectful.
